A Dream

I am usually pretty bad at remembering dreams. However, this past weekend I had a dream that my local Chevy dealership had gone out of business. I was driving by the place, and the whole lot was empty. There was nothing left. The place that I had gone to only last week to get my tires checked was now an empty shell.

This dream scared me because I just got a new car from said dealership. It's a place that I know well. My parents have gotten cars from there.... The place has been around ever since I can remember-probably over 20 years, although it has changed names since I was little.

This dealership does a lot for the community. They always provide the cars for the homecoming parade at our high school. For prom, they actually raffle off a new car for students who attend the post-prom activity. They host car shows on summer evenings with food and entertainment. They also have displays at our local fourth of July celebration.

Anyway, I would be really sad if this place left. And this dream seemed so real. Perhaps it's because the dealership is next to an abandoned K-Mart lot, but it was quite easy to imagine it all disappearing.

I guess I'm fearful for GM?
I really don't want them to go under. I guess we will see what happens March 31. That's when the government is supposed to respond to the bailout requests.

I can't help but worry.

The website, http://tagcrowd.com, lets you plug in the text from any source. It then looks at the text and picks out the most common words. You can set the number of words you want it to pull, and it also eliminates common words such as a, the, an, etc. I was playing with it today....I plugged in the text of Shakespeare's sonnets from 51-154 (a lot of text!) and this is what it came up with:
