Dear Dog Lovers – I think we should all give a big applause…
…to airline El Al for removing several seats in business class to make room for Orchuk the boxer, as The Telegraph reported on Monday.
Sadly, Orchuk had to stay in a cage during the flight, but I’m pretty sure he got his food bowl filled with some excellent food from KosherPets. I have not yet tried their Fancy Schmancy Chopped Liver Dinner:

… but the design of the tin can alone makes me already hungry.
I hope this story will encourage you to keep flying in business class – but now with your dog beside you: Just in this time of economic turmoil, it’s important that we all stay together and support each other in any possible way.

In the waiting room…
Mark Hulbert, in: Stress-testing the stock market – Commentary: Stocks’ reaction to the Fed’s announcement will tell us a lot (MarketWatch, August 12):
We’ll learn a lot about the economy, later today and the rest of this week, by simply paying close attention to how the stock market reacts to the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement Wednesday afternoon.
The Federal Open Market Committee will issue its statement around 2:15 p.m. in Washington.

Börse(n): Heute nehmen auch noch die Spätzünder…
… ihre Gewinne mit:

Wir werden in den nächsten Tagen zwar keine März-Preise (mehr) sehen, aber doch um einiges billiger (wieder) einkaufen können.
Zeit zum Durchatmen!
Zwei, drei Ruhetage stehen uns nun ins Haus – Gelegenheiten, auch, für Schwimmbad-Besuche und Spaziergänge – sofern das Wetter mitspielt.
Abends dann gute Gespräche auf der Terrasse (mit nahen Freunden und Verwandten jeglichen Grades). Dazu kühles, aber nicht kaltes Bier (> Diarrhoe-Gefahr).
