FALLING BIRTH RATES

Linden believes that it was on March 23, while listening to the Rush Limbaugh radio show which was being hosted by Mark Steyn, that he heard an unusual reason for the predominately European problem of falling birth rates: gas prices!

Falling birth rates means that the future will provide fewer and fewer people to pay the cost of previous governmental obligations as well as current expenses. Mark reasoned that gas prices, which in Europe are much higher that they are in the U.S., dictates that the family car becomes increasingly smaller. This, of course. translates to no room for a large family. Sounded reasonable to Linden.

MOSTLY ABOUT ME

I felt better on Tuesday than I did on Monday. Not great by any means, but better. Did little, did pick up my mail and went to a gas station but expended little energy. Received the parts to cause my TV to return to normal operation but my computer still does not have broadband access. Will attempt to install the TV parts in a day or so. Plan on becoming more active tomorrow. Dan and Diana came by for a short visit in the afternoon.
