Yup, I've been around, worked many different kinds of jobs in many different kinds places.. From Cincinnati to El Paso.. And the one thing I've learned over the years is this.. Stay the heck out of the big cities.!
I really luck out when I found a great job in the Appellation hills of Southern Ohio.. I got to raise my son out here in the boonies. But, even here, it's getting more dangerous with every passing year. Nowadays we see LOTS of foreigners at the local Wal-Mart. Ohio is pretty much a "constitutional carry" state, so nearly everyone packs a roscoe.
Well, maybe it's like they say, "It's got to get worse before we can make it better." We'll just have to wait and see what's around the next bend.... I got a feeling what's around that bend ain't going to be any fun at all... :(
I grew up in Rochester, NY. Left there around 1973, and moved to the Mohawk Valley. I live in a small city in a Red County. There is very little crime. Most of the sirens we hear are the fire department headed to Griffiss Business Park. It used to be Griffiss Air Base, but Bill Clinton closed it. We haven’t got hit with an overwhelming number of illegals being sent here...at least I haven’t seen any at my local Walmart, so I figure that’s pretty good. No hijabs anyway.
