Today is the day

Here is a thought.

I know lots, and lots, of people with little kids, babies, and/or pregnant bellies. Missoula is a great place to raise a family. But Montana doesn't have the greatest economy, and jobs are kind of limited here unless you are in real estate. Wait- scratch that. Even real estate has tanked.

I know a few stay at home moms. Maybe... hmmm... five? And you know what? They are all on some form of public assistance (WIC, s-CHIP, whatever). These are college educated women, with supportive and employed husbands.

That was the state of the economy BEFORE the crash this fall.

So yeah- it is a big day today.
