It's a little thing. But maybe it means something. I'd planned to buy a big screen T.V. this Christmas, but I've changed my mind.
I'm guessing the whole country is making similar decisions.

About Me
- Duncan McGeary
- I'm Duncan McGeary, owner and/or operator for the last 39 years of Pegasus Books in Downtown Bend, Oregon. These days I'm writing books as well as selling them. I'm the comic book guy. But even more so, I'm a book book guy. Books of all kinds. Big books and little books, children's and adult, fiction and non-fiction, hardback and paperback and trade paperback and graphic novels. Books with more words than pictures and books with more pictures than words. They are all part of the book world to me, and I love being surrounded by them every day.

Wow. Front page article in the U.S.A. Today talking about this very thing.
Opening quote:
"If you're thinking about buying that expensive big-screen TV — well, that's probably about as far as you're going to get.
Tech analysts say the lousy economy may put the brakes on big-ticket electronics purchases over the next few months, with consumers bypassing luxury items such as expensive TVs..."
Weird how often that happens.
Pawnshop. You will find an improving selection there over the next few months.
Hey, good idea! I may try that, if we have a good Christmas.
Unlike just about everyone else, I think Christmas might just by all right.
Same for us. Not the big screen TV, that we got last year, but other expen$ive projects. Like front yard landscaping. We hoped to get the yard cleaned up, irrigation installed, new soil put in before it got too cold, then plant in spring. Well, we regretfully had to cancel the first phase, the preparation phase. Maybe next spring things will have picked up so we can proceed.
We were also looking at getting an insert to put in the living room fireplace for more effective heating this winter. That, too, goes on hold. Our expenditures drop, passing the pain onto the local businesses. Ick.
