The Times

The times have changed.

Hard work doesn't seem to have the value it use to.
A college education is near meaningless, but yet, without them you may never be considered for the most trivial jobs.
So, it comes down to the fact that one has to pay 50-100k minimum in student loans + interest depending on the school and degree if you want a simple job.

I shalln't input my beliefs here. It is not my place to do so, but schools have become a place with no real discipline. If a child spends 40 hours a week there, not counting extracurriculars or after school day care, how can there be no moral belief system to guide the children. When I say moral believe system, I mean respect the teacher, learn to stand up for yourself, don't kill, don't lie, don't steal. Things that no matter who you are, there is no justification for doing those things.

Only in Texas

Well, it has to be said. Only in Texas can it snow one day, and have 60 near 70 degree the day after. (More like a day and half after.)

I really have not had much to say. I am working on several projects. One of which is learning calculus. I took pre-calculus in high school, and college level business math in college, but that is as far as I got. I know most who are reading this will have a "are you crazy?" reaction, but I am good at math. I really enjoy working with numbers, and perhaps now I will understand it even better than I did in high school or college.

My Lost Arts Project is going slowly, due to work and life. I will update you all on it when I have a chance.

I do like the picture in the article. It says: THE MARKET IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. Any truth to that? What do you all think?

Stay safe, as always.
