The good news....
1. I can afford the cut. Don't like it, but it beats a layoff.
2. Every other weekend is a 3 day weekend.
3. State parks are close by and cheap.
4. Gas is cheap.
5. Camping is cheap.
On the whole, I think I'm going to like this!

3 day weekends are nice, I have them every weekend. So far the economy has not created a problem for me yet, I am crossing my fingers. The good thing about gas prices is that the 160 mile round trip to work is now easier to deal with and a seasonal site for our camper is coming up in May so I don't have to tow my rig up and down the road and burn extra gas.
