Frustration....

So that's what this is: total frustration, a way to vent a bit on things that I see that don't seem to get talked about much, particularly with our gimme-your-money economy. Don't get me wrong. I do like to shop. I like the pleasure of owning something that I picked out and really wanted. But those pleasures are fleeting, few and far between these days for a variety of reasons. So, in a last desperate attempt to save my sanity, I'm starting this blog to really vent to the markets about what they could be doing to persuade me to part with my dollars. And where they are hopelessly falling short. Stay tuned. I have to go to the grocery this morning; it should be good for a later post.
