Economy.
Don't get me wrong I am happy with my season I just imagine how good it could have been had things been different. Lots of layoffs, 160 bank owned homes (last i checked), and gas. Most here are runnin at least one diesel vehicle. Deisel has been over $4.75 for a while. My real estate agents arent coming in as much, lenders aren't either. Agents are driving around showing homes wasting gas, but not selling. Milk is $5 a gallon. Its going to be bad JASON. The simulus checks haven't stimulated as much as I hoped.
Weather has been very strage but it has actually helped us.
