    I haven’t noticed a slowdown in my industry (semiconductor telecomm) but there are always rumors and gossip about pending layoffs or hiring freezes.

    Business as usual here in eastern LA county. Went shopping today for some President’s Day sales, and the parking lots and stores were mobbed as always. I live right on the edge of LA/OC/SB county lines and whenever I go into OC, it never ceases to amaze me how crowded the restaurants are. Doesn’t anyone in OC ever eat at home? Bottom line, no recession clouds forming here. And by the way, prices of homes around here have barely budged off their highs. I’m now in year three of renting, waiting patiently for the much publicized correction.

    I think if you go shopping on the weekends it will seem just as packed as always. Might be a perception thing.

    I prefer to do my shopping during the week when I telecommute (nice to get out of the house). Last Wed. Costco was practically empty, never in my life seen it that quiet. Maybe 1 out 3 registers was open with 1-2 folks in line. Most people were only buying essentials.

    As bad as the downturn in Temecula is said to be (and it is bad..), I went by Costco in Temecula Saturday(completely packed), went out to eat Saturday as well (an Italian Place in the Mall area forget the name starts with a G) , Completely packed as well had to wait about 20 Minutes.

    Seems People have money to spend in Temecula.
