    You could throw a rock and land a job around here. I hear the complaints that no one is working. But my social level, everyone is working that I know. Saturate market with workers and you drive wages down. COG has increased, wages need to. I think mega corps are just putting out the poor mouth.

    Starting to think its like the truck driver shortage. We are not short of drivers, just short of drivers willing to work cheap.

    But what do I know. Maybe worse in big cities. Or I could be right and its bull sheet.

    Alright, I've been running this cryptic crap though my head all day and I'm not tracking. I'm gonna need you to be more direct. I've come up with like 10 possible meanings here. Help me out.

    That air conditioner looks a little bit small for a garage.

    Yes and no. It all depends on what your hobbies are. A fella just needs something other than work. Everybody is different. However, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that if you revolve your life around 1 thing, then that 1 thing is suddenly gone....it prolly doesn't end well. No matter what that one thing is. Take for instance how many couples who have been married for a long time, when one dies, the other usually follows shortly thereafter. There is no one way in life and nobody has the answers, however one tends to make observations about the world around them.

    I think he’s talking about the “that won’t happen to me” mentality.

    I dunno, that's why I asked. I ran it every which way through the day. Besides, I never once said it won't hapoen to me...not once. What I will say is I definitely live for the day. Because you aren't guaranteed tomorrow. I've found on this site alot of folks have a real hard time with observation. I have one person on here acuses me with regularity of telling others how to live. I can care less about how others live. First and foremost because I don't care...at all. 2nd, because it's none of my business. I don't have time in my life to tell others how to live theirs. I've got enough going on in my life to keep me busy. However, as a person in the world who is surrounded by various things, I tend to make observations. Because that is how I learn and grow. That is how I determine what is right or wrong for me and my family. What others decide to do is their business.
