A rare day off

A day without having to go in to work: nice, relaxing, lie in until past seven o'clock, go for a quick bike ride round the neighbourhood, stroll round the grocery store with LOML and the children.
Listen to the news, and discover that although the economy is going south in a submarine, there is a bright note: in the US, "disposable incomes rose a record amount in May". They do, of course note that this is because of the cheques that the government sent out, up to $600 per adult, $300 per child, in May. I wonder if they are going to note at the end of July that this month, disposable incomes fell by a record amount?
(Of course, if they are measuring incomes on a month by month basis this would be the case: but they are probably measuring on a year by year basis, which means we will have to wait until the 5th month of the Obama presidency to get the bad news...)

Yours, lazily,
