In the eye of the beholder

Came across a couple of videos. This first one is an issue of perspective on the thought of what is terroism or what is a terroist act.

This second one is just plain funny (at least to me). It spoofs on the Annie Oakley comment by Senator Obama.

On the economy side of things using my GFP (gross flower production), things were not as good as last year. What started off as a year with a bang, is now looking to be equal to last years numbers. We were up 21% end of March. End of April we were up 4.7%. As of Mother’s Day, 2.6% on the year. Interestingly, looking at credit card use for the holiday months Valentines was up 23%, Easter was up 13% and now Mother’s Day is down 27%. This is the shift I saw starting last August. But, cash sales are up for May 33%. They were up for January and February, but cash sales were down both March and April.
