I have slowed down as well on my posts, but I certainly would not go blaming an unnamed, certain LAKER poster for it.
Do I pat myself on the back now or later?

Where the heck have you been anyways? Traveling? I demand more participation from you now that you have the 1st and 3rd Friday off of every month now.
First off, I wasn't refering to you. Sorry.
Second, yes, I was gone on a trip for the last week in January. Annual thing my wife insists on doing for my birthday. Life can be so hard at times.
Third, the furlough thing thoroughly sucks. Friday was my first furlough and it did NOT go well. Tried to putter around the house and ended up causing more problems regarding pool repair. Not in a good place at the moment. At work, we have several openings that I can not fill until my management releases the paperwork to do so. If they sit on it for six months, I lose the positions and that will be bad.
Fourth, considering the state of the Kings these days, I just have no interest in posting on a basketball board at all. As you might have noticed, of late most of my posts have been non-basketball related.
Fifth, on that theme, in the other post about the economy, one poster supported bailing out the auto industry but not the banks. It is thinking like that which will drown this country. The American auto industry can be directly linked to much of the trouble we are going through right now, along with the banks and investment idiocy. To give them a free hand-out sickens me no end. The only bailout our government should give them is this - The first American Auto Company that comes up with a viable option to non-renewable energy to run their cars gets the bailout. Period.
