Frozen Packer fans

Every week I try to write about a technology news story or financial tidbit that impacts our daily routine. This week in Wisconsin the upcoming Packer / Giant playoff game is all anyone around here seems to be thinking about. I have to admit that that these days, I rarely have time to sit through a full game of football. But when the Packers are on the doorstep of the Superbowl, I think even I can find the time to open a cold beer and watch this one. It takes a special kind of fan to sit outside and watch a game at Lambeau field in January. It's supposed to be minus ten on Sunday, so we should see a lot of frozen fans. Go Pack!

This week President Bush announced that he is working on a plan to stimulate the economy. Part of this plan is to give each taxpayer a check for $800 dollars. I don't think anyone will turn down the money, but I have to wonder where the cash is coming from. It seems like every ten years there is some kind of financial crisis that nobody anticipated. The economy can't grow forever. I just hope the whole darn thing doesn't decide to melt down around us some day.
