Sunset over Wal-Mart



I'm sure that this will be the only place to work in Crawfordsville soon if all of the factories continue to close down.
Talk about working for the company store!

This is just one of many sad announcements made by newspapers in every state in the nation.

Thinking about others

I've been thinking recently about a few things (or perhaps people) in my life. One thing would be the actions of others- and what they mean to me, my community and fellow man in general and even my employment.
Make your own conclusions.

I have found a few words in the dictionary that are apt descriptions of those afore mentioned actions (or perhaps people)

FRAUD: An act of deception carried out for the purpose of unfair, undeserved, and/or unlawful gain, esp. financial gain; Such an act injurious to another; One who performs such an act.

THEFT: Dishonest appropriation of property without the owner’s consent, with intent to deprive them of its use, either temporarily or permanently.

ETHICS: Rules of behaviour made and accepted by business to provide fair and moral practice.

More to come as time and inclination allows

Red sky in the Morn

Red sky in the morn,
Sailor be warn.
Red sky at night,
Sailor's delight.

Morning sun in Indiana. Forecast calls for high in the 40's and a 50% chance of rain with wind gusts 10-20 MPH. GREAT!
