And last week the cost of the typical (concrete) mix I use rose from $85 to $120 a (cubic) yard.

It was two weeks ago when the major suppliers began rationing the amount of concrete they would provide.

It's those small little plays and we can't get over the hump. That's been typical of how things are going. It gets frustrating because it seems we've been hit with a 'bad luck' stick.

You can take a break and go in a distant location, far from problems… far from troubles… far from home… but still this doesn't change anything… as I said and I will say again… it's just one typical day for me.

All days from the week are typical, that's all… nothing less, nothing more.

The problem is that I hate holidays… I hate the whole idea of it… That for you today is Christmas for me is nothing different than the typical week or weekend.
