    So, let that sink in for a minute. Just “wow” is all I can say, and it scares me. We literally have a very angry tiger by the tail. It can only last so much longer and then the collapse will be far bigger than it was in 2007.

    My wife and I are in the mode of full preparations financially for a rough bit of economic headwinds. I expect it to get bad. I just landed a contract with a client that is two years in duration of billable work. I hope this stabilize before its over.
