BROWN PRAGMATOX
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who doesn't place a particularly high value on frivolous things, like matching socks. Family and friends have no understanding of your inner self, but neither do you. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time watching the shopping channel looking to buy either a travel case for you toothbrush or a looseleaf notebook binder. Be on the lookout for defective microphones. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter O, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 705885. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).
Is this You?
As a Brown Pragmatox, you are down-to-earth and practical. You are hard working and industrious. You are frugal to the point that you might even refrain from making a purchase that you really, really need. Doing so often causes problems down the road. You definitely go with function over form and substance over style.
This isn't me! What am I?

RECOVERY The early phase of a business-cycle expansion that occurs shortly after a contraction has ended. During a recovery, the unemployment rate remains relatively high, but is beginning to fall, and real gross domestic product begins to increase, usually rapidly. However, because the contraction remains fresh in the minds of many, it may not be immediately clear that the trough of the contraction has actually ended.

Packing Up For MIGRATIONThe quiet, peaceful town of Shady Valley has always been a great place for a pedestrian to wander through the workings of the economy. I'm afraid, though, that it's about to end. I've been offered another job -- an opportunity to wander around the streets of the distant mecca of Shady Lane to search out the mysteries of plant pathology. In Shady Lane, the sidewalks are smoother, the crosswalks are better, and the pay is much more lucrative. However, in that Shady Lane is in another time zone and several states away, migration would be my last topic of the day. There's a lot to be gained from this potential relocation of my residence, but it's not without cost. While I ponder this decision, perhaps you can help out by considering the topic of migration.
