You’re pretty brave to be talking to the previous owners, especially in situations in which the previous owners are under financial strain or wiped out or in the process of getting wiped out.

I’ve noticed that a non-significant amount of people have a few loose bolts in this economic climate, some probably on the verge of a tipping point….My strategy is to keep a low profile during these times and not try to rock an already fallen deck of cards, with the exception of anonymous blogging. I surely don’t know if that next guy/gal down on his/her luck is gonna go postal or otherwise.

Nope, in this economic climate, I’d prefer to keep my circle of friends smaller and defer making newer friends to later 🙂
