Well guys,
I want to say that there is a reason for the low activity in the Austin group, but I don't know what it is. Other than maybe a sense of troubled times. That's all I can think of that might be keeping people distracted enough to forego the local TCC activities. Austin has a huge contingent of high-tech workers and everyone knows that most hi-tech companies are struggling right now. Over the last two years, Austin has suffered tremendous amounts of lay-offs from all of it's big hi-tech companies. Even if you aren't in that sector, you can't avoid the effects of it. Consumers are conservative, less money in circulation, homes for sale on every street, high local unemployment, lots of toys for sale (boats, cycles, cars, etc.). It's not pretty.
I, for one, am definitely guilty of being caught up in all of this. My company has been fighting to stay alive for over a year now, after being abandoned by our now bankrupt parent company. I've been extremely distracted and I'm frustrated in not being able to spend more time with the group. My company will be done at the end of this month, so hopefully things will change soon and I'll be able to get back into the swing of things (whether I still have the Cobra or not).
Without mentioning any names, there are a number of Austin cobra owners that have been caught up in these tough times. I'm sure they are just as frustrated as I am. It really helps to know that things are alive and well with the TCC.
I'm certain that things will get better for the Austin group. Hang in there with us.
Ed and Tony, keep us alive!!
