ParticipantCongrats to you Navydoc.
My wife and I are execting our first baby now. We just found out recently. I guess I’m somewhere between a 3-4 because I am renting a nice townhouse with a garage and all the amenities. However, my employment opportunities are dimisishing with my current employer (in San Diego), and I don’t just want to pick up and move. Hence, I will be looking for new work soon.
I’m happy about an extra deduction to my taxes, but I realize that will be short lived once we realize what a costly venture a new baby is. The reality is that surviving on a low six figure income for a family is tough in San Diego. I always wonder how others are handling it (I guess credit cards or higher income) 🙂

ParticipantNost & all,
It was a IKA Foods……and it was a great place (while it lasted). I have no idea about Henry’s taking over the fitness place. I’ve always wondered how in the world the Bally’s makes $/profit there when the GYM is always 1/2 empty.
Since we’re talking food, and I know the area well since I use to live on Calle Cristobal. I have also worked around, and the THAI place is may favorite.
My wife and I eat there quite often……..ouch, the secret is out of the bag 🙂
Yes, the Mediteranean food is good as well.
I’m hungry all of a sudden

ParticipantI just read some of the Euro news, and I found an article that states that Bhutto was clearly shot.

ParticipantThis is definately a subject matter dear to me because I travel annually outside of the US. This year, 2007, I felt more poor, specially coming from the richest country in the World (at least I’d like to think that still).
There are some great observations/notes by our daily pig contributors vis-a-vis the $ devaluation. In fact there was another trend a few days ago with respect to cashing out out of the foreign markets & preparing a position/cash for down payment to buy/invest in the US real estate based on the devaluation of the mighty buck. I have contemplated this option, as my family has some RE assets in EU, but I can’t imagine this is still the perfect timing. Moreover, I doubt that the RE bottom is near (I feel we’re a couple of years off..or so…I think 2010 or 2011).
I also remember that our current VP (Dick C.) has moved a significant lump sum of $ (around $20 mil or so) about 2 years ago into banks in Switzerland and away from the $. This was definately a great signal to all at the time that political pressure on our FREE economic system is a standard. The small club of Washington DC folk with lots of cash have someone always protecting them.
Having said that, I don’t think the $ will stop depreciating, in fact there are almost weekly announcements by various countries (China, Quatar etc) that will no longer hold $ as a state of valuation & they will go to the Euro or some other currency (swiss frank or BP). This will continously devalue our US $ since there will be less holders of it in worldwide.
Yes, a devalued US $ makes exports cheaper & allow us to deal w/ the trade deficit, but we are dealing with bigger issues and the US Economy is big time in debt. I wonder what the next move from the FED will be at the next meeting (holding the Fed rate the same or dropping it?). This will tell you the current shape of our political pressure (lower rates) and reality for dealing with attracting more $ to cover our national debt.
I guess the brownie Empire is slowly crambling, and the corporate lobby group is relentless because the big cash cow is now offshore outsourcing rather than US internal interests. With more US corporations having global positions,I will assume that they are fairly well protected (their stock), because most of their new markets are not based on the mighty $ and the earnings reported translated to against a weaker $ always beats some estimates. Hence, I say stock of global organizations have the most stability in this hard to read market…..and of course…there is always risk.
