Took my truck in for oil change, today. The mechanic said that
business is so slow. The economy is really awful.

"I laid off my son, today" he says. Doesn't have enough work to pay
him.

So, how are all you Democrats enjoying life, these days? Was this the
change you were hoping for? Anyone out there going to vote for more of
this change? I hope not.


What!? He must be a terrible mechanic. The shop I use has so much
business.

Here in Kitchener/Waterloo you can fire a cannon through the average
automotive shop 3 days out of 5 without any danger of hitting
anything. My brother's shop is one of the busier small shops (3 men, 5
bays including an alignment rack and A/C equipment - they handle just
about anything)
There are times when he has more work than they can handle - but more
days when there's barely enough work for one man.
