In reply to the discussion: STOCK MARKET WATCH -- Friday, 15 June 2012 [View all]kickysnana
(3,908 posts)78. Glad this week is almost over
Two people in my immediate family got lay off notices on long term jobs and two other people had a first seizure, not in the same household so it probably wasn't environmental.
The weather was cool but the southern part of Minnesota got wind, hail and rain and there was some flash flooding and crop damage to go with the apple blossom freeze earlier this year. On the other hand the strawberries will be as big as apples this year and a lot of lakes that have been considered low are now full but the millfoil is terrible already interfering with swimming and boating. There is still a severe drought up in a few counties in the Red River Valley NW corner of the state. They raise a lot of potatoes up there but maybe not this year.
