Well, we've come all the way back to July, a year after my first comments at a party, about the state of the economy. Everything I said then has more or less shown itself to be true, and the economy continues to slow, with the price of oil pushing skyward, above $140/barrel and the price at the pump averaging somewhere above $4.19/gallon, nationwide.
