<!--fonto:Comic Sans MS--><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS"><!--/fonto-->Good morning Crazies from the semi-beautiful midwest. It&#39;s a tad gray and cold around here. No snow or ice however as it all went deep into the south. <br />Yes, the auto bailout deal is off as the UAW would not capitulate. The money offered is actually the money set aside for retooling for more &quot;green&quot; cars. Apparently that&#39;s gone, as well. Our company would have been highly involved in the retooling. <br />I have some manufacturing friends in Southern Illinois, or as they call it, the Southern part of the state of &quot;Chicago&quot; who are getting a good laugh at the Rod Blagojevitch attempted sale of Obama&#39;s senate seat. I but a bid in on it yesterday on ebay, however I got a bid rejection notice that my &#036;1 offer was declined. Now today ebay has pulled the listing&#33; I wonder why? <br />We hope you all have a great weekend. We have a Christmas dance tonight, but will probably be sitting more than dancing as Rita is still recovering from her injury. <br /><b><!--coloro:#ff0000--><span style="color:#ff0000"><!--/coloro--><!--sizeo:4--><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><!--coloro:#006400--><span style="color:#006400"><!--/coloro-->Merry<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> Christmas <!--coloro:#006400--><span style="color:#006400"><!--/coloro-->to<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> all&#33;<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b> ( we still say that around this part of the country) <br /><br />We will do a doc dance for Andrea, as well&#33;<!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc--> <br /><img src="http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k260/KeithnRita/gif/Dancers/moonlitedance.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />
