A discouraging Word

I was trying to open my tenant's kitchen drain today when his new 46 inch high definition wide screen television was delivered. NICE TV!
But I wasn't having much luck with the drain. I think it needs the heavy duty electric snake. If you run a lot of water down the disposal, some water comes up in the other sink. That is not good.
But I did manage to improve the function. Water only comes up now if you have a lot of water in the sink.
I asked the tenant to keep an eye on it and see if it will suffice. And to let me know if it doesn't suffice and then I will take the next step.

But is any of this discouraging?

The world we see in the news is just one big funk. It seems everyone is losing a job and a home and going broke etc.

It can't really be that bad. Most people are working. More than 90% who want to work are working. That sounds pretty good.

I see lots of traffic everywhere and I see many new cars when I go out.
So something is still working.
My sister and her husband are visiting from Hawaii. They are staying in a hotel in Culver City. They are going out to restaurants. They are spending money.
So why be in a funk.
And yet I do feel discouraged. I have been a bull for years. I am riding the bull down and yet I want to be hopeful that recovery is just around the corner.
I still believe we will have a powerful rally soon. But what is soon?
Maybe 90 days would be soon.
