They may have the money to go, they just don't feel like spending it now. Bless those who are going and supporting the GSDCA Let's hope that next years economic timing is better. Although if the econmic predictors are right it probably will be worse. We could very well be in the grip of a depression next year. Terry Terry, Add to that two hurricanes. Times are so bad I will be hitch-hicking to Beaumont. I will be taking I-10. For those who may be passing that way, I'll be the old guy sitting on a 500 crate on the shoulder. As I cannot afford a room, I would appreciate sleeping in some ones van, or stall. Weather should be fine so it won't be so hot. Any left over food would also be appreciated. I will be available for odd jobs if anyone needs help(bathing dogs, walking dogs, picking up dog doo, etc.). Randy C. **************Play online games for FREE at Games.com!
