farmer! i forgot that one...

i was chasing my grandfather's bull around the neighboring pasture a few weeks ago, trying to get him back on his land, and it was almost a fight-club like deviation from my normal workaday nonsense--made me feel alive!

though growing crops might not provide the same adrenal stimulation, it'd still be pretty great.

You know, after my first shot at Architecture, back in '01, I got scared off and had to seriously consider this question. My answer back then? Pediatric Oncology. I hated it. I got a job as a Nurse's Aid in the ER at our Public Hospital. My first day on the job a lady puked up Hepatitis positive blood all over me, and died in front of me. Worst day of my life. The 6 months of globulin shots that followed were no walk in the park, either.

I'm so glad to be back in architecture now.

Was sitting on my porch last night when the UPS man pulled up, parked, grabbed a package from the big brown metal box, jumped out of the truck and whistled while he chugged up the street to drop it off.

I was like, that's it! UPS carrier! It's the closest thing to Santa Claus there is! Where do I sign up?

farming, not that's a job...talk about underappreciated, underpaid, and overworked...but you're in touch with reality like no one else

Meta, I need to introduce you to the farmers I know. I've met a lot of farmers in my day, and I've never met one that's hurting financially. They may bitch about the weather on the local news, but if their crop doesn't bring a good yield, they've always got subsidies and insurance money. In fact, most farmers these days have McMansions in the nearest cities, and its not uncommon for them to have lake houses and cabins in the mountains.

I will grant you that they are under appreciated, but they are hardly underpaid or overworked. The dust bowl is gone. Farming has once again regained its status once held in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Welcome to farming in the 21st century.

Yeah, I'm in Lubbock, TX, the Cotton Capital of the world. I hear corn farmers everywhere are making a killing with the ethanol thing putting a crunch on the market. Demand for wheat is up, too, since corn prices are going up and many dairies are becoming more dependent on wheat and less on corn for their feed. Life is pretty good right now for most Texas Panhandle farmers.
