Cleaning out my phone and found this. Getting really cold here now so nice to see a warm beach.

Cold data out today too. U-6 Total unemployed for the US rose to 17.5%. Even the smallest measure rose, to 10.2% in October, topping the 10% mark for the first time in 26 years.

Nonfarm payrolls dropped in October, bringing the total number of jobs lost in the recession to 7.3 million (at the lowest count). It was the 22nd straight decline in payrolls.

A couple of phone photos from Mr PT in Costa Rica – I’m guessing he will have a whole lot more to post from his proper camera when he is back next week…
