4. It is what it is. But things in September should still be ok, even if a little under the weather.

So nice to hear from you again, Enid. How has everything been?

Your recap of the problem with Macri, I think, hits it right on the head. Like all GOP clones, the man doesn't know the meaning of the word 'countercyclical'. No handle on basic economics - or common sense, really.

The only thing that has mitigated it (thus far, anyway), is the simple fact that employment and income levels were - relatively speaking - as high as they were to begin with. It's one thing to have a recession in 2016, coming off 2015 living standards; and quite another to have it in 1989 and 2001 given the already depressive economy in 1988 and 2000, respectively.

When you get there take lots of pictures, Enid, and have a great time!
