Economic indicators

I worked in this building in my previous job. There was always a hot dog vendor on the corner. Cheerful guy, ex-tech type. When this building and several others nearby went vacant, so did the hot dog vendor corner. That was two or three years ago.

This morning, for the first time since, I saw a hot dog vendor on the corner again. (I'm somewhat bummed that it's a different guy.)

I think I'm having hot dogs for lunch today. Just 'cause. :-)

The traffic congestion seems to be back also. Many of my long-term unemployed friends are getting offers. Looks like recovery.

We need a "Hot Dog Index."

Yes, I've noticed traffic getting markedly worse lately.

"Hot Dog Index" - that's perfect! If I were a good humor writer I'd make up a column on the "Hot Dog Index" and post it here. :-)

There was apparently an article in the Murky News about the traffic today.

Wow, I guess a lot of people are noticing it. Maybe it's not just my impatience making me think traffic is getting thicker!
