YAWNnnnnnnnn..... Wow, I'm so tired, I only had one nap today. I don't know if I'll be able to get through this important post, without falling onto the floor and drifting into a deep slumber...?!?!?!?
By the end of this, most of you probably will be wishing I had fallen over. That is... if I manage to stay awake through to completion of this literary gem.
Yeah, so... I took a walk earlier today because I was running low on food. There's a market fairly close to the joint I live at, which made for an easy stroll for dietary staples like, donuts, popcorn, jelly beans, chocolate chip cookies, a candy bar and stuff like that.
The place has excellent prices too, so I saved money while getting some exercise in.
Look what I came across in my travel.
THAT, my friend, was sitting in the midst of a mostly demolished portion of an old Railway Station I had come to like. In the warm weather, I would often pause awhile, sit on the concrete steps nearby and look out over a wooded plot of land - now cleared as well...!!!
Now what the hell am I supposed to do?!?!?!? I used to cut through that patch of woods on foot or bike and pick a few fresh, herbs every Spring and summer, for like twelve friggin years - or more... I think it's more...
I felt compelled to show you how artsy I can get with a camera in front of my face, when I remember not to point it backwards. You should see how many photos of my eyeball I have on file; It's astounding!!! A sight to behold!!!
ANYWAYzzzzzzzzzzz........
That's the back section. The front entranceway looks a lot different, as usually they do, unless they don't for some odd reason that nobody can ever explain, especially if you don't ask them.
Maybe I'll take a picture of the front one day, if the demolition crew doesn't tear that down too... I felt lazy today and didn't feel like walking all the way around and up a hill to the Main entrance.
It's not all that beautiful, anyway, so you're not missing out on much😏 I mean... it's okay... sort of nice, but nothing really ornate like old big City train stations, like Grand Central Station in New York City.
There's a rumor that Amazon is going to construct a new fulfillment or distribution center there, or a warehouse. If they are, there's a tight lid on it, because no City officials are talking about such a project.
That's not unusual for large corporations to keep stuff like this secret, in areas where they suspect a community may be against it. They're always fearful of old ladies with funny looking hats, picketing and shouting profanities at passing motorists. For that reason, they'll wait till the last minute to confirm their plans to the public.
At other times, a huge company might just want to keep their plans secret from any competitor, who might otherwise beat them to the punch or throw a monkey wrench into the works.
If Amazon does come in, it will bring a lot of jobs for people around here. They may mostly be minimum wage jobs, or close to minimum, but they'll need higher paid managers and tech. people too.
You know... the type of jobs where they put you on a salaried contract for a lot more money, but make you work 70 or 80 hours a week. After breaking that down by the hour, you're making barely more than the lowly, hourly paid workers...
It's a TRICK... The scheming little bastards...!!!
Another rumor has it, that some developer is clearing the property to construct a housing development. People are whispering about a government project or non-profit organization building housing units for wayward women and poor single mothers with kids...?!?!?
Damn...!!! That's a hell of a lot of room for ladies... it's damn near ten or twenty acres, all together with the old parking lot and open field...!!!
I'd better go out and get a hair cut, new suit and shiny shoes for when those broads show up. They ain't gonna want no bum to take them out for dinner and dancing... They'll want someone mature and classy like me😇
Well, my friends... That should be enough to satisfy the appetite of the most critical, connoisseurs of fine blogging and wild hog hunting. Therefore, I bid thee adieu.
Stay well or get that way; someone you love may depend upon it.
Ciao
This is waaaaaay too much excitement in one post...It could be a 32 part series! (or 39 - if you want to tone down a little)
Ya think so...??? I happened to stick my camera in pocket on my way out the door (unusual) Then remembered it was there when I came across this demolition.
You lucky bastard lol. It seems like it did you well since you managed to get some good content out there. Bulldozers, debris, and single mothers, what's not to like.
Funny point about the salary workers and their wages. It's amazing how easily it can all be justified by them because of the status (power) and "perks" that they get.
Yeah, thanks... Glad you enjoyed the post, I enjoyed writing it. I probably should stick my camera in a pocket more often- I guess? It can help spark story ideas.
Might as well, see how it goes mate.
I just sent a delegation - but can't be arsed checking if you've received it.. go and do some work for your shekels! lol
My up-vote value is taking a big hit when I lay it down lately!!! I'm showing a 14 cent value, but it only lays down 6 cents at 100%...?!?!?!?!? Is yours taking at hit like this much too?
I have no idea , matey..I stopped looking a long time ago..
I probably should be asking a question like this to @antisocialist... but I think the answer might be 'Whale voting' and the BIG voting trails activity. (?)
Mine seems to be predicted correctly on peakd.
I haven't noticed that my vote value has dropped, but I have been crapitalized a little more, lately.
The top cannot vote rewards without taking them from the bottom, this is a zero sum game.
Neither can anybody else take out rewards that don't reduce the value of the votes of somebody with less hp.
Hive is a crab bucket.
It's the ones taking candy from us babies that chap my hide.
We need a 1000mv voluntary cap on daily voting.
Until we get that, the stincyness will persist.
Have you looked on hivestats to see if you can spot any anomalies?
At this point I would be surprised to find any bugs in the code.
It could be a front end or api thing.
Or, like you say, the whales could be sucking out even more.
Thanks for responding with your thoughts, Freeborn...
Yeah, it could be a front end thing somehow. I'll vote through another front end to see if my votes get cut up to 50% there too...
Thanks for the support! (I only just noticed - cheers matey!)
Thanks buddy... No didn't show up yet, I'll keep checking.
it's freespeech...? - have I been stoopid? - do I need to send it somewhere else ? (easy enough to undelegate..)
Haha... Yeah, you sent it to @freespeech, but THAT is someone else (inactive) might be a recovery account? Free Speech Community's admin account is @hive-168088
I tried that first! - it said it was incorrect -wouldn't let me do it....let me get another coffee...oh, the stress...
