Duuuuh!<BR/> But the new business model is cut, slash and burn.<BR/> I'm an older man, retired, so it doesn't really hurt me, but I feel that we are not leaving the world a better place for our kids.Jim of L-Townhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941398804273985677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-84046393134501305872008-02-12T18:50:00.000-08:002008-02-12T18:50:00.000-08:00Mom, is that you?

Thanks for the kind words. I have to admit this is more fun than most of my other writing projects, even if it is decidedly less profitable. (As in zero profits.) I'm glad you like it. Feel free to pass along any news or memories.Gordon Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911010126952753812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-49531015276275247722008-02-12T15:16:00.000-08:002008-02-12T15:16:00.000-08:00Gordon,I must say I stumbled across this blog some...Gordon,<BR/><BR/>I must say I stumbled across this blog somehow, and it's kept me completely unproductive throughout this entire work day. I've read each of your posts from "GM losses and buyouts continue" to the Onion article. You're a fantastic writer, and the content is extremely intriguing. I'm a metro Detroit expat (Southfield), but am very familiar with many of your topics. I've been out of the state for 2 years, but my thoughts regarding all MI issues still keep me a bit informed. Please keep up the excellent posts, and hopefully I can direct some traffic your way.<BR/><BR/>Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
