I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

Heh heh heh... yeah... our city has serious money problems. The problem is that mayor Murphy doesn't know the meaning of the word budget and likes doing things like building new stadiums and getting rid of popular small businesses for large businesses that no one is going to want to go to in downtown. So, we are in a budget crisis.

I was listening to "Money Talk" with Bob Brinker on the weekend. Someone called to ask if California's bond market would collapse. He did not seem to think so, I do not pretend to understand bond markets but I suppose the same would hold true for Pittburg. Worst case the federal govt bails them out.

Mayor Murphy sacrifices a bottle of Heinz ketchup and a Clark Bar twice a day to the gods in hopes that the Federal Government will bail his ass out.
