FT.com / US / Economy & Fed - Jobs data stoke US recovery fears

How many factories in your town? What is your city's main source for jobs? I don't think the country is beyond economic recovery, but just in case I'm wrong, perhaps we should cut down on our TV and our golf and learn how to be self-sustaining, somewhat. Remember the (according to my kids), "ancient text" of the Fox Fire Books? Amazon offers them and there are other publications with a similar, though never as genuine/original/earthy as the Foxfire Books.

I'm pretty ignorant about things these days; I can't remember the last time I walked into an old-fashioned hardware store and bought a hoe, or any other gardening tool for that matter. Fortunately, hoes can be purchased in many different places today, even online.

Now, if only I wasn't out of shape, having trouble with my back, and not wanting to bend those knees........

I'm sure I can find a project and accomplish something toward this goal, but first I'll just check the Internet and see what info is out there for beginners.
