The Democrats had their hand in the "happy days" run up to the huge sag, also, but saying the Democrats are responsible for everything and the Republicans are the solution is just not accurate.
Anyway, peace.
I'm dumfounded, where are the pool players????

It was 112 Degrees outside yesterday in the Valley of the Sun, Humidity was almost 100%, I was wishing for rain. Our Community Room has 29 Pool Tables in it, the A/C was Running & Keeping the place very cool.......the Snowbirds has left for summer, and the place was dead.
This am we are having a cool off, only low 92's outside now.

It's interesting here locally. We are most definetely a cold weather state, and a tourism state as well, so summers change indoor activities a lot...usually. Our local 8-ball league actually has more teams for this current summer session than we've had over the last year.
Maybe its the A/C?

29 tables-dam. What size(s)?
Are they all 1/15 in the side, 8ball tables?
At 112 degrees, unless there's an air conditioned tunnel from each home to the rec room-maybe not surprising that nobody is playing pool in this heat.
Curious-that sounds like a huge room-what other amenities are there? A cafeteria? dance flooor? gym?

You win the prize of the most inane remark ever on AZB. Congrats!
Seems to me Woodrow Wilson is the real boogey man here.
Talk to those who lived in the Depression, or last Bad Recession, PEOPLE HELD ON TO WHAT THEY HAD, and were tight with their money in BAD TIMES.
The Rich will always spend, but other suffer.
Our local PHX Metro Boys & Girl's Club recently laid off 12% of the Paid Staff. Reason is CASH DONATIONS are down, and Fund Raiser are not raise what they did a few year back.
Things were better under the BUSH's:smile:

The chicken politicians (of both parties)
know how fix the economy. They won't do it
because some people are gonna get hurt in the
process and that will cost any supporting
politician votes.
Show me a politician with the guts to
fix the economy, even if it hurts in the
short run, he gets my vote.

Mike,
When I'm in Vegas, I hear all the same things you're saying. Most of the guys I know play pool to make money to feed the "one armed bandits". Even worse, a few play "craps". And not on the "don't pass" side. Most of them are continuously broke. Got a ten dollar set last time I was in town. The guy quit after two sets. Didn't even ask for weight. Upstate New York is no different. Just nothing happening. Everyones waiting to make a big score at the casino.

Casinos turned out to be the best hustlers out there.
Summer is always slow. We use summer time to catch up on projects around the place. Still recovering from a hail storm 2 months ago in repairs. We are surviving because all our competitors are going under. Another one went under this week. They were selling alcohol without a license. They actually didnt think the city would notice.

Funny thing is I was talking to business owner yesterday who lies in my commuinty, his business is nothing anyone has to have. He survives on extra income, or maybe what some call mad money.
I ask were you doing better, making more money when BUSH was President. His reply was much, much better, now under Obama it is tough making any money after all the bills are paid. He started this business 20 years ago with just an idea, hard work, and a few bucks.
Like I keep say there is a recession, and if you talk to local business owner in your community who are not brain dead, or an Oncologist trying to peddle more Chemotherapy to some person he know is going to die. But still has insurance that will pay for false hope, business owners will tell you things are bad out there now folks.
Anyone else getting flooded with e-mail offing 2 for 1 meals, or free room in Las Vegas, Laughlin, Reno, or the local Indian Gaming Casino. Was not like this when Bush was in office.

OK, back in the '70s I managed a billiards establishment for several years in the Long Beach, CA area. Every year you could bank on business taking a vacation about time school was out. This was during the Nixon, Ford and Carter administrations; which were never faulted in the downturn of the summer business of the room(s).
BTW, the other room that was owned by the same people was kinda the opposite but it was right next to the pier in Belmont Shore.

And you must be asking that because you don't grasp the fact that it was the good times that caused the present bad times. The good times were all credit-based, a huge air bubble. The party's over now.
