Commenter (Buster?) chides me for having a store that is over packed and lost from view amongst the boutiques downtown:
I'm not sure if the problem is that people don't know about Pegasus Books, or that they don't care, or that they don't care that they don't know....
As far as the store being packed -- well, that's just it. It seems to work. I'm pretty sure that I sometimes hit my minimum sales BECAUSE I'm over packed.

So the Bend City Budget (today's Bulletin story) is basically --- close your eyes, cross your fingers, and hope nothing goes wrong.
Not a peep about the myriad ways that the city councilors have blown 10's of millions on over- reaching projects.
I get the overall feeling that everyone in the local government is just trying to hold on until things turn around again. But things will never be the same. And even a modest upturn isn't for certain in the next few years...

A real comment (got this from Comics Reporter): 'I would like to get it all for free, otherwise you will not get my business.'

I reckon in the past 5 years the budget has gone to over $500M in debt, not bad for a town of about 50,000 morons. $10,000 debt per head ain't bad, when you reckon the debt per person USA is $50k.
Spending money was largely spent on BIG projects where all the money 100's of millions went to KR, aka MDU, aka BankofMOSS.
Today ALL is BendBroke(tm). USA can't even discuss killing medicare or social-security. So USA fiddle on DUNC-TV while USA burns.
Most telling today is the news that CHINA will not bail out EUROPE. What BULLSHIT, CHINA has been bailing out the USA for 20+ years, and now they're finished with the USA, and will turn to 'investing' in EUROPE as an alternative. It may take 10 years for the world to liquidate its DOLLAR holdings, but it will.
Where to keep your money now? My opinion is CHF ( swiss frank ), virtually all currency is tied to USD including SGD&HKD. Only CNY(yuan) would be preferable but its NOT available to US citizens, which is MOST interesting of all. The Chinese government seems to be in collusion with the USA government by not letting US citizens buy yuan, but everyone else. So the USA is fat&dump&happy because US folk have no where to run except gold&silver which are rigged by CME.
Just so you know, ... I can go to Hong-Kong and open an account, but they'll not let me hold CNY(yuan/rmb) because I hold USA passport. Everyone else is good. It's this way everywhere. Very funny.
The debt in BEND that dunc is concerned about was largely passed through by MOSS&her minion (BROOKS RES), but was essentially quantitative-easing for Bend post y2k. Everybody loved it at the time, and all the spenders are now gone or dead ( electables ).
A peep from HBM Inc., at no time ever has HBM offered an apology for his BULL. The BULL is the pied-piper and will continue luring sheep off the cliff. If & when the BULL runs out of sheep, it will quietly close its doors and pay more attention to its office in walla-walla.... HOLLERN already gave the BULL $5M cash by way of worthless land-sale with CITY money, so they're fat&dumb&happy. Basically ALL their investment has been returned 100x to date, now for everyone its OMERTA ( silence mob style ).
What's this? Dunc's bitching about the Bend weather? I thought you said this is PARADISE!!!
