When I moved to a small town in Utah the unemployment was around 20 percent, so I opened a recycling center, it treated me okay.

So this one percent increase, how many of them are jobs that pay over ten dollars an hour? Or twelve.

Yes, but...Prepare for the rate to go up when Pen Ply goes under, as it almost certainly will soon.

Hey, there's an OPENING SOON sign on the lot of Sarr's Market Place, I don't know what is going to open but I guess something is.

"there's an OPENING SOON sign on the lot of Sarr's Market Place"

And yet the "For Lease" sign is still up and the place is still boarded, so that's a little confusing.

But that vacant lot on the corner of Front and Chambers is being fenced in like something's about to happen there, and that bank across from Aggie's is being fenced up too. So... maybe things are going to happen. Maybe.

Maybe M&R hired some drivers to shuttle all those logs from the PenPly barker to the export yards. Or maybe it was the Hermann's hiring a few more woods rats to go rake up some bio-twigs. Either way, sionara forests.
