   Pretty depressing . . .    Even though business is down, I guess that I'm lucky to still be working.

Sorry, I try to find the humor in little things.  Notice on the east coast, the only place that doesn't have high unemployment is around Washington, D.C..

NOVA (Northern Va) is a pain in my backsides and I wish we would give it to DC. They are primarily government providers and want to run the politics for all of Virginia. Very few of them are from my state but want to change it to something that resembles where they came from.

A curse on everyone North of Fredricksburg! ;D

They say the recession started in 2008 but from what I've seen it started in 2007. Nice map.

I thought it was a pretty cool map and pretty true picture of what I have been seeing... lights out in a lot more places...

I hear occasional talk of repair - remodel stuff but not much.  I still have a couple local projects but finished my steel work subcontracting last month.

Yeah, Peter... the guys from the NSA IP's I have caught monitoring some of the off topics were based in Virginia.
