Signs of the Times

Another in the continuing series.

While driving north this morning we were listening to a variety of radio stations in the Central Valley until, of course, 9:06 when I tuned into KBFK in Sacramento for Rush's show. The content of the show aside, what was striking on that station and on KSFO in San Francisco (as we got closer to the Bay area) was the plethora of commercials for credit card counseling companies and bankruptcy lawyers. It was especially noticeable on KSFO.

These commercials ran every 2nd or 3rd ad, and one time I heard credit card counseling commercials for two different companies run back-to-back. We hear those ads periodically on the Los Angeles stations, but never in the quantity I'm hearing up here.

Things must be pretty tough in Northern California.
