Day off for everyone but the workers at Pecos River Station. Sorry people!

• Nina and I are going to Sam’s Club
• Tori’s staying close to handle any dumb shit
• Debra is caring for Shirley now
• Andy will be doing nothing work related
• And Erin will most likely be with us

While I like the money spent during days like this, I really don’t care much for holidays. I guess it’s a holdover from my garbageman days. A day off meant working twice as hard before and after that day off.

With the train crashes and bridge collapses that we’ve seen this month, it makes you worry about the safety of this country’s infrastructure. Our country wastes so much money on wars in countries that mean little to us, and if we spent that money repairing the infrastructure it could go a long way to improving the economy. Wars no longer help the economy the way they did in the 40’s and 50’s.

Just heard a report that the infrastructure is being hurt more by fuel efficient cars than general wear and tear. They are reducing the trust fund because of their efficiency, and that reduces the money spent on roads. 18¢ per gallon sold goes into the trust fund to pay for road and bridge repairs. Ban fuel efficient vehicles and bicycles to raise the trust fund’s revenues!

To all my hooker readers, Joe from Arrow’s Ridge is up there alone until mid-afternoon and he sounds real lonely. Why not take the initiative and head up there to ease his loneliness.

Peace out people.
