Although Halloween is five weeks away a local store is already pushing the sale. It would be interesting to see how this year's Halloween turns out. It could be an indication of how X'mas is going to be for retailers. It is very important to point out that the survival of the US economy will play a major part of how much damage the terriorists have really done to America and it's people. And it's up to the people in America to make it worse or keep it under control. I will be doing my part by keeping my travel plans on this Saturday. I will be flying to the west coast and certainly I will bring back some images of how people are doing over there. 9/19/01
