“It’s bad here too, lots of layoffs here in Caterpillar country.”
It doesn’t look better for Cat for some time.
A good friend of mine has a lowbed service and hauls construction equipment in the western US and in the last 6 months he’s been lucky to get 3 jobs a week when he usually did 3-4/day.

I was registered with the Illinois flag and then F.R. started posting the last comment from the state site onto the main page. I got tired of scrolling and scrolling and scrolling just to get to news/activism. It seems there are some Illinois posters who love to copy and paste really long replies.
I tried to find out how to resign from the state site and couldn't figure it out but I did know how to change locations and figured there wouldn't be a whole lot of traffic from the Congo, so now I fly the Congo flag instead of the Illinois flag and so far there have been zero postings appear on my news/activism page from the Congo.

Thought that was an honorable profession since Zero was elected.
About three hours later, at 3am, the guy walked back in the bar just as drunk as before and told them he had proof that he was a pilot. Then people started running into the bar and they heard sirens, so they went outside and right in front of the bar on St. Nicholas Ave was a stolen Cessna. He landed it right on the street.
Then the cops came in and arrested him for stealing the plane from Teterboro Airport, about ten miles away.
I actually doubted the story until somebody sent me a pdf of an article from the NY Times, Oct. 1 1956 that told the exact story.
You're not from San Francisco by your screen name, are you?

Cheers!
