Panic!?!?!?!

 Panic? 

I had to quit watching the news this weekend and a former Current Events Coach has a hard time stopping. ( ( Fuck you former Buna Supt. of of Schools who didn't want the academic "sponsors" called coaches....It's what the UIL calls us...Look at the Book of Rules....)

I consume a lot of stuff from the rest of the world, sorry but we're in a global society whether we want to believe it or not, stop fooling yourself that we're about to start making toasters in Mississippi.....

Hell, the British were debating whether to visit the U.S. this summer vacation or not......Seriously. 

Fuck up foreign tourism?  It's bigger than you think. They don't come to Beaumont-Orange-Buna....Hell, we are from here and often wonder why? And on the other side of the coin, where else would we go? Seriously? I was born here, I'll die here. 

The markets in Hong Kong, Japan crashed today....and while the American futures have recovered some...it still looks awful...

All this said, relax....Calm down. 

Yes, right now it looks bad, but this has not played out yet. 

My grandparents lived through the Great Depression of the 1930s, World War 2....One set had 11 kids.....The other set 5.... 

My grandparent's grandchildren are pretty soft compared to them. Seriously. 

Things like recessions, depressions happen. Has since the founding of the republic. 

Calm down folks, don't check your 401k every 2 minutes and I know that's hard to do. 

Normally I watch the Bloomberg Business Podcast from 6-9am with Tom Keen to see how messed up Tom's bow tie is this morning, but today...Nope, not going there. 

There might be a time to panic, but we ain't there quite yet....

 Today folks, listen to some music, dance in the kitchen, take a break......Life is too short. ( Then again, I can see the end, and it's closer than many of you know...More and more I wonder what the afterlife is really like....) Enjoy life, it's shorter than you think....
