Hi All

Sorry to have been away for a while but I have been defending North
Carolina from a golf invader from the North. *I have written down what I
consider "bench marks" that I am going to track now that the Dems have
taken both houses. *Keep in mind that the brilliant economist and
philosopher Shiela Jackson Lee has already stated that "The reason the
stock market has reached a record high is because Democrats were elected".

*As of 11-07-06

Unemployment *4.4%

Gas (Nationwide Average) *$2.08

Dow Jones *$12,187

Congress Approval Rating *29%

Presidential Rating *37%

30 Year Fixed Mortgage Rate *6.2%
