mysterious ways

My daughter/roommate was fortunate to graduate from college during the worst economic times around. When the banks failed and the feds were slow to come up with her loan money during the sophomore year, it looked like it was all over. She had scholarship bucks and enough prepaid credits to go for two years. The rest was on paper. 25K owed to the feds AFTER the banks that extended those loans failed. If there is one single thing that the government could do to help stabilize the economy it is to forgive past student loans and start over. What the hell??? The whole thing has been bought and sold a hundred times.

She has had exactly three jobs which actually pertained to her field of study, all but one of them part time due to the shitty economy drastic trickle down of the recession to healthcare and social programs. When I read today on what some say is a "liberal" media site that the campaigns of the major GOP players are almost always funded largely by doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies I almost choked. Good thing I wasn't at the lunch table with the salsa sisters yet ;)

I am exhausted in many more ways than one. Yet I still manage to enjoy the thrill of a cool afternoon on the front porch facing the sunset over Pecan Lane. We rode around and took pictures yesterday (tyvm Count Z) in the Forked Deer bottoms which has a whole heckuva lot more sand that last fall due to the big waters of May. I showed my friend where the duck blind is hidden but we passed on walking the trails along the slough. Maybe another time.

Everything's quiet for now with the grands. Let's hope it stays that way for awhile. Big hugs all around.
