Iowa steaks, burgers, pork and all manner of good things carnivorous on the menu tonight, not to mention fresh, organic veggies, cold beer and MOJITOS mixed up by FLBarbara and Dragonfly just for us!

SM77, Puma godmother, has her latest installment in the Unemployment Chronicles HERE. And the New York Times is looking at a possible trend of micro-entrepreneurship – people who are starting (very) small businesses after giving up on traditional job searches.
