The town in which I live was once known as the sock capital of the world. That is until all the Free Trade Agreements sent our companies running overseas and to Central America where the labor and real estate are cheaper. If there was another world war we no longer have the factories here to convert to defense building plants. We no longer make things! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that our economy is dieing because we no longer produce anything. The fewer people in the work force paying taxes only creates a drain on our country. We have got to find a way to bring jobs back to the states, that's the only way to bring our economy and standard of living back. I can remember when there was 125 sock mills in this town. If you lost you needed a job you had no problem finding one. Now there are only 5 left and it has had a devastating effect on the town and it's dwindling population. One by one more and more businesses are closing and work is getting harder and harder to find. We have got to find a way to bring our jobs back state side or there will be more and more towns like mine that was once the home to something.
Fall Is In The Air
Cool nights, warm days I love this kind of weather!! I have become an avid deer hunter and I look forward to this time of year. I love to sit in my stand and enjoy nature. I like to get in there before daylight and wait for the sun to come up and all the woods to come to life. Have you ever seen a deer with frost still on it's back? Have you ever watched as two bucks fight for dominance? Have you watched a bob cat our for his morning stroll? Have you ever heard the sound of a hawk in the air and then watch him swoop down and grab a squirrel off the ground? Have you ever watched as wild turkeys scratch for food, then after they have gone, watch as a coyote comes through looking for them? I hope you enjoy the outdoors and the nature around you! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
