I haven't been too worried up 'til now

But when I find out that Girl Scout cookie sales are down, it's clear that the sky is truly falling.

National numbers are not yet in, but regional Girl Scout councils nationwide are seeing the impact of the down economy, as well as bad winter weather, in declines as large as 19% in pre-order sales, which took place January through early February.

I will do my duty to jump-start the economy by buying a couple extra boxes of Thin Mints.
