All Clear on Friday

We shut the office down on Thursday as severe storms rolled through the area. We have surge protectors on all computers, but I didn't want to take any chances. The sky became black. The winds blew... hard, and the rains came. Within hours, the sun was beaming brightly through the clouds. Today has been glorious. The sun was shining on Wall Street today, as the latest employment figures came in. They were good, but not so good that we were ready to start worrying about inflation. Markets responded well, with large-caps taking the prize today. One tech company with a problem is Motorola. Their new Razr phone has a few glitches and just may slice off your conversation in mid-sentence. Yikes! It's back to the drawing board for MOT. I guess I won't give up my bag phone yet.
