Wasn't in the business then, but I know this: If you expect things to g=
et bad, they will. If you get creative, stay positive, focused, and ene=
rgetic, you'll be just fine. 
 
There are always counter forces at work, too. Like in the period you de=
scribe where new car sales suffered but used car sale rose and mechanic=
s and auto parts stores got a boost.
 
I really believe that we largely create our own economic fortune, posit=
ive or negative, based on our willingness to change, our creativity, an=
d MOSTLY, our attitude.
 
Soapbox is creaking under me; I'll step off now.

crisis. My question is, how negatively did it affect your income? I'm w=
ondering what to expect in Jan.Feb.etc. with heating costs expected to =
double, gasoline @$3 a gal. etc.
 
Thanks,
