The consumer is certainly employed, as shown by this chart of the falling unemployment rate!
Hello Swimming Pool, talk to you at the end of June !
For over ten years we have wanted to have a party at the Dallas Arboretum. Over that period of time, we looked into having the party multiple times with the same outcome …. it broke the budget, mostly due to parking charges…..
