ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake Don't blab this around but the Mayan Economic Indicator appears headed back down. My Mayan housekeepr just asked for TWO days work this week. This could mean the other employer that was paying her $125 a day, fired her because she washed her Angorra sweater in the washing machine ---OR--- We are headed for a nasty double-dip recession --OR--- All the undocumented Mayan housekeeprs from Arizona moved to Claifornia and now there is a labor glut On balance, I would advise holding high quality debt obligations or carrying some gold bars in a special belt inside your underwear.* Personally, I'm betting that the Great Manitou's beaver-tail slapping sign is a more accurate predictor of Mayan Economic Growth than the indicators you have suggested. My guess re: her request for more days is more basic: you pay on time, and her other clients are deadbeats. Mayan housekeepers are famous for having a keen understanding of the importance of actual cash flow, rather than running their household by leveraging debt to capital at a 30:1 ratio, taking advantage of accrual rather than cash accounting, and ignoring the potential asset value of discounted future potential earnings (Which probably also explains why most Mayan Housekeepers remain solvent with steady jobs, and the State of California is broke and furloughing state employees) On another topic, I can't wait to see what Branch Rickey and DC&H cook up to annoy the damn Yankees and that Dimaggio kid: since Rickey is involved, the Big Dodger in the Sky must be waiting with bated breath!
