2. I was at a large federal building on Friday

I go there on an annual basis for a couple of days and we set up an information booth in the cafeteria.


I had presumed that anything related to Federal Employees was going to be solid but the cafeteria owner told me he didn't think he was going to survive. Not only were the number of visitors down most of them just bought chips and a coke. While the federal employees income is still unaffected their spouses are having a hard time.

Half of the coke machines had no coke to dispense and I noticed that the vendors were only bringing in deliveries on a COD basis. If its hard for somebody who caters to federal employees its easy to see how other businesses are suffering.


We got the right guy in charge, calm and smart. I kind of chuckle about McCain suspending his campaign. Can you imagine if he had been elected? He would be panicked running from one fire to another. The whole country would be on sedatives!!
