My personal leading economic indicators

I knew something was happening:
  • summer 2007 -- fountain cokes at several lunch joints are flat or improperly syrup'ed.
  • fall 2007 -- increased incidence of food poisoning.
  • winter 2007 -- deli meat has been frozen, texture ruined.
  • nov 1, 2007 -- no one brings leftover Halloween candy in to the office.
  • fall 2008 -- lots of broken windows in neighborhood, with handwritten "we're open" signs.
  • september 2008 -- half of restaurants with flat cokes close.
  • october 2008 -- dumpster divers in Harpers Ferry, W.V., report that grocery stores are no longer throwing out food.
  • november 2008 -- windows still broken, signs still handwritten.
  • nov 1, 2008 -- a little bit of candy makes it in, but you have to ask.
