Passport Arrival, Other Updates. "Economic Winter."

U.S. PASSPORT ARRIVED YESTERDAY. All is in order there.

I've been offered three classes for fall semester and tentatively accepted. So the absolutely worst-case scenario hasn't materialized. Nothing exciting with the eBay store (have sold a few books and one CD on the Amazon.com site). No move in March, as I was able to negotiate a $125/mo. reduction in my rent. Not perfect, but will keep me in my apartment at least until June.

Right around then is when I plan to visit Chile for the first time.

From John C. this morning:

Financial Times:

“We should be focusing on what works,” Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina, told the FT. “We cannot keep pouring good money after bad.” He added, “If nationalisation [of banks] is what works, then we should do it.”

"You are all at the brink of economic winter."
