Times are tough all over

--wailing in the hallways over the stock market

--a friend of mine's mother just lost her job of 37 years, and tried to commit suicide. She is several states away, and can't afford to fly to her bedside

--did you hear about the MBA in finance who lost his job and could not find another, and so shot and killed himself and his entire family?

--lots of layoffs in the real estate, title, and construction industries.

a veritable pall hangs over everything . . .
