Harry & David cuts over 100 positions

In today's Mail Tribune, news of the Rogue Valley's largest employer laying off 10% of its staff. The economy in Oregon has always been pitiful (Portland, but especially "non-Portland" places). My business, though based in Ashland, is overwhelmingly paid for by Portland clients. Not exactly an ideal place to move to at the moment (despite it's beauty and lovely people). Maybe a good place to move away from...though not presently *deep deep sigh*. Presently...presently, I'm content to stay right where I am and move forward in other ways...other non-geographical ways.
