It’s raining tho’ not very hard...guess I could’a just said, “It’s drizzling.” On the other hand, it’s been a while since I’ve seen rain so I might be a little confused. And it’s spozed to snow in the sierra. That’s a good thing. We need the snowpack. And not just for skiers and snowboarders and the people who make their living off them.
Y’know......the ski resorts and the people who work them.....the restaurants and the service stations and the chain monkeys.....the highway patrol and the snow removal guys.....the tow truck drivers and the body shop people who rebuild the wrecks....not to mention the hospitals and doctors and nurses and pharmacies and the undertakers and cemeteries.......an awful lot of people are dependent on weather related activities.......
Y’know.....like farmers and undocumented aliens....can’t ja just picture E.T. chopping lettuce in the Salinas valley.....OK...bad example, just shows how old I am.....I haven‘t a clue about the aliens of t’day but I’m sure they’d all have super powers that would enable them to clear a lettuce field in record time..
I was having a CT Scan and it got me thinking how many people are involved in cancer related occupations......Heck! Health is big bucks in this country and around the world. Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, wonder how many people would lose their jobs if they found a cure for cancer? Ah well, ain’t gonna happen anytime soon!
One of the big ongoing research projects is to find a cure for aging. News flash! The cure for aging is death. Always has been. Of course, I don’t think they really want to stop aging. They just want to slow it down. Imagine what that would do to the economy. Draw Social Security until you’re 150 years old.....boggles the brain when you think there’s a problem with too many old people right now.
Besides, with children having children, how could anyone keep up with great,great,great,great(?) grandchildren?????? Justin Other Smith
