I was just noticing that gas prices are going down.  This is despite escalation of war with Russia, Israel/Hamas fighting, potentially bringing Iran into the Israel war, and Houthis attacking ships in the Red Sea.  All of these wars involving oil producing countries and shipping should make gas prices skyrocket, but instead they are dropping.  That only happens if demand is plummeting.  Demand for gasoline only plummets if demand for everything is plummeting.

I've noticed that things are slowing at work as well. 

 Yup. We're in for a rough ride, I think. I'm not too worried about it, though. Most of us here are better prepared than most.  

 I've been expecting it to hit some time this year.  The question is, "will it be a slow slide or will something precipitate a catastrophic plummet?"

I'm in pretty good shape as well, although I haven't been good about working in my garden this year.  I've been focused on my writing and the garden has suffered.
