How do I know that the economy is really lousy here?
I stopped by the nearby Dollar Tree store this afternoon
and it was packed!  I've been there in the past and was
just about the only person there.  Today, there must have
been 50 shoppers inside the store.  I had to actually wait
in line.  I think that dollar stores are great since one can
usually get a bargain.  However, if it's that busy, it's
saying something about the economy.
