Money

Today is Monday and we had a nice day. It is some kind of holiday that I don't think too many people know about. It is one of those holidays that privat businesses don't observe but federal and other government agencies have to observe. So, if one works for the City where there are already about 47 holidays, now they have 48.

Abigail had no school, she was home all day and this afternoon the family decided to go shopping. We drove out to Long Island and went to Macy's. Both girls needed certain stuff very badly and Macy's is the best for these emergencies. Now, Macy's is not well known for its low prices. Actually, Macy's is brand crazy and not too ashamed for the high prices. 

Actually, there are lesser quality merchandise that one can find sometimes as low as 80% off retail but one has to be careful and knowledgeable about the stuff. But that is not the point. The point is that regardless of the higher prices and the fact that today was a normal workday the store was packed and people were shopping like it was the last days before some major event.

I don't understand people. Everybody is crying about high prices, high gas prices yet the roads are packed, the storers are full and people are spending. If money goes out money also must be coming in. That is a plain fact. So why is everybody crying? Do these cries have any believability?
