Black Angus in Fields on the Way Home

We're off on another day to town. Going to bank, get protime at the clinic and a list of other things. And back again tomorrow too - when hopefully the house should be ours. I got the power for the new house switched over to our name. Everything on the long list of things to do ihas been accomplished, except to go back to the phone company today and choose the options we want for the phone etc. That will be a bundle that includes phone, internet and TV. I will have to also call Dish TV when I know the details of the phone bundle. We're getting close!

Last night I ordered some more bedding from Penney's on line. Had to go there to get extra long twin bedding. I got two extra long twin beds and the sheets will be harder to find. I also shopped at Macy's for some of the kitchen bowls and utensils we hadn't gotten yet. That should all be about done now too. I think we have everything we need except cleaning supplies and food. There will be a few additional things in the way of furniture, but they aren't necessary to begin with. As time goes by I'll decide on those.

Last night we caught the first cat, Traveller, the black father cat. He is miserable in his big kennel. I thought we'd get another one or two in the night, but the trap is still empty this morning. They are getting too smart for that I guess. Now it occurs to me - what if they won't go in the trap??

It's the anniversary of Black Tuesday, which happened in 1929 — the worst stock market crash in the history of the United States. The economy had been so good during the 1920s that people kept speculating in the markets, so stock prices were too high, much higher than the stocks themselves were worth. When they suddenly fell, it was a snowball effect. People had borrowed money to buy stocks, thinking that they could turn around and sell the stocks at a profit, and now they went bankrupt. On Black Tuesday, stock prices fell so fast that by the end of the day many companies couldn't sell their shares at any price. Black Tuesday was the beginning of the Great Depression. By 1932, more than 100,000 businesses had failed and 13 million people had lost their jobs.
