Stocks decline again after Thursday's big drop

Wall Street loses more ground as oil rises; personal spending, incomes jump

"NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks slumped again Friday after a sharp dive in the previous session, with investors anxious about a new oil price record and dubious that personal income and spending will remain resilient.

With many commodities on a seemingly unstoppable incline, Wall Street remains concerned they will slam consumers with not only elevated costs for energy and food, but also for other goods if cash-strapped companies decide to pass along the rising costs. Early Friday, crude was up more than $1 above $141 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after briefly surpassing $142 in pre-market trading. Corn and soybean prices have also been hitting new all-time highs."

question for you:
do you store salt, and how do you do so?
I have a 25# of RealSalt, and a 3-gal bucket that was once used for "Breakfast Roll Icing" - would the residues overly sweeten the salt, do you think?
