"If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village she must seek them abroad"
-Jane Austen( Northanger Abbey)
Be careful, I will start quoting Tennyson and not stop.....
I have been amazed over the last week of the number of people who are looking to leave this area. Not only Jasper County and Buna, but maybe move someplace and start over with their kids.
Not only move to say a Houston or a Dallas-Fort Worth, but perhaps Tennessee, or in the case of a couple, to the North.
I know, I already have a " colony" of former students who have chunked it for whatever reasons, living down here in this area, and have moved to Maine. I can understand why, I quite enjoyed my time in Maine.
Many, hell most are upset with schools and well, they are looking for something else.
There are more than you think who just want something different.
I know, there are more Americans just leaving the country. I am not going to be shocked if my child winds up permanently at some point in Asia. I seriously expect my grandkids ( if I have any) will grow up overseas.
And after my fit on AI in yesterday's blog, I am thinking large numbers of people moving just to find work is going to become a real thing. ( I wonder if it'll rival Dust Bowl days?)
- End the damn Texas Senate race in our area. I hate both of you at this point. Both of you are lying in my book. Literally spending millions of dollars, for a job that pays $7,200 a year/ And only work 140 days every 2 years. What are the rich wanting these two to do once they reach Austin?
Speaking of Texas Senate, about to throw a fit next week in a blog......
- In economics
Cash App is laying off 4,000
Papa John's Pizza is closing 300 stores.
Stellantis, the company that owns Dodge, Chrysler, Ram, Jeep lost $ 26.300.000.000 in 2025. They are hoping that V-8 engines and Jeeps will save them. The price of a Wrangler scares me away alone....And I can just about see me in a V-8 Challenger. Yep, 145 mph on the Texla Road was " All she wrote."
Had someone ask me " Why the economy has not crashed totally yet?" Let me know if you want me to write on it.
-Speaking of poor economics, Google searches on " Van Life" have skyrocketed.
- On a personal interest.
Yesterday, the British held what is called a " By-Election" to replace a Member of Parliament who has either resigned, died, etc.....
It was held in a district in Manchester. And, to everyone's surprise, the Green Party candidate wins. Pollsters had predicted the Reform Party candidate to win and they came in a distant second.
( Reform is a new party trying to replace the old Tory/Conservative Party, in the past, it would be best associated with Churchill. The Tories)
The Green, well, now MP, got into politics because she was, and still is against " Dog Racing."
I need to write on British Politics just for one in coming days.
- The Ambassador to Israel is telling staff members if they want to leave the country, to " Do so today." ( How close are we now to a war with Iran?)
Again, thank you for reading the blog, this is my last blog I plan to write for a few days. ( Now watch something big happen either in Jasper County, the school, or nationally)
As always, you have information, send me the particulars and I will do research and possibly ( probably) will write on it.
And as always, everything is confidential.
