I was out most of the day paying a long-anticipated visit to the dentist and doing other chores. That’s why posting has been light.In economic news, the Fitch ratings agency says that it may downgrade the debt six Eurozone countries before the end of January. France is said not to be among the affected countries. Meanwhile, Britain’s total debt is now five times as high as its GDP.
