For the past several months, during many rush hours, there has been a young man standing on the corner of a busy intersection near my home. He works for a local pizzeria and wears a placard advertising pizza prices. He doesn’t just stand there. He performs an air guitar routine that is extremely good and quite entertaining. He elicits smiles, waves and happy honks from those traveling by while simultaneously advertising for his employer.
I would like to publicly thank this young man for the wonderful job he’s doing. He seems to have such an upbeat attitude that we can all benefit from. He certainly brings a few moments of joy to the multitudes who have the pleasure of seeing him, along with many stops at the pizzeria. I’m sure his employer appreciates him, too. Bravo!

Won't happen. I've never set foot in a Walmart, and I never will. Last November, I caught illegal activity on my debit card very easily...I was scanning through the last few days' activity and some Walmart purchases showed up.

No, they're not. We haven't seen the worst of it here, but we'll see lots more people enthusiastically welcoming you to WalMart before the Bush Depression is over.

Well hey, you know what? The young guy is working, and regardless of what people think of the level of his job, he is doing it with enthusiasm and making the best of it. Attitudes like his are far too rare these days.

And as we enjoy the Bush Depression, this will constitute skilled labor.
