5. Talked to my brother-in-law in Missouri a couple days ago...
He does siding and insulation. His company has work lined up for the next six months, due to stimulus money. I am seeing fuller parking lots at restaurants, grocery stores, and at the local casino.

I would say we are seeing some improvement. The big question is whether or not the economy will continue to improve after the stimulus dollars are all spent. The answer to that one is still a few months down the road.

It will be interesting to see what happens when the stimulus funds run out.
