Sure makes me wish there was some way to afford these views without grinding away for 230 days or so a year.
Places and scenes like this have value. So why do the people that live here vote for politicians that don't value these things? And if they don't care about and respect these things and value their communities, why would they think they deserve my respect?
Cmon 715, STEP UP!
EDIT- I headed to a local store to get a couple things, and my Mom wanted a newspaper for crosswords and other sections. Here's what I saw when I got there.
Gannett strikes again! Basically, the notice says that they aren't delivering the J-S, USA Today abd other papers to these parts anymore. Not cost-effective.
It's bad enough that those guys sacrifice quality by not investing in local reporting for their numerous papers around the state, but apparently the "little people" in these parts aren't worthy of a state/national newspaper.
It's ridiculous but does leave an opening for a local paper to fill. I hope some enterprising journalists and editor who want to relocate will see this and take it as an opportunity.
