Sign of the times

I keep forgetting to blog about something I saw back in August in San Francisco. Think back to those halcyon days of yore, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 11,431, I saw what seemed like a great indicator of the economic disaster of the time: high gas prices. As I walked along the Embarcadero, I saw a white stretched limousine version of a Hummer for sale by owner. My god, has it come to this?
