Some times you learn about something taking a nose dive into oblivion, and while you feel bad for the people or person or persons involved, you have to just say, Same stuff, just a different Day or year. Case-n-point, a really nice person I know here where I live runs a very small, video store and printing, publishing company here. Upon inquiry she informed me that she threw in the towel on her small area newspaper here. Too bad, since this gal and her husband are really nice people. But then too, its maybe a sign of the tymez or is it a local attitude that just cain't be overcame. Not saying Gooding is bad or that folks here are as ornery as say Glenns Ferry etc are, since I have many here trying to see me succeed. But like I said in an earlier blawg past evening, folks cain't rent what they don't have. A good media friend of mine Straight Arrow, started a small radio station here in Gooding. Now a Mexican oriented station. The station Straight Arrow started went into the tank, property sits, tower is there, but studio? In Jerome. Granted an argument could be raised to snag the station, by alerting the FCC amongst others that the studio is not where the transmitter is, nor is the city of license being served, by where the studio is located. 25 Miles away is not serving the city of license. But then I am outta here, as soon as resources can be gathered together, place to live, studio for OUR station and of course shop for LexiBelle. So I really don't care. The once thriving Magic Valley has become the ever so often Tragic Valley where the wheels of progress have ground to a stop, and short of a real miracle and the second coming of Christ, not much is going to happen here, except for a chosen few who hold the old money, as well as those who say all we are going to do here is grow taters. Now to my own stupidity, LONG BEFORE, I relocated back to Idaho, the thing would have been to drive to Boise, see if the Boise State University Vo-Tech media course was still going, and so on. It isn't of course or its not as it was even ten years ago. But that would have been the smart thing to do. Even then I told both Tammy and Bud, I did not see anything really green except for the alphalpha growing in Idaho. That going east of Evanston, or in Echo Utah , or even if Idaho were a destination Malad would have been a better choice since Malad is closer to Utah and thus Utah's financial benefits overflow into Malad, where the rest of Idaho suffers. That all said, I am here now. The way I look at it, is there is still 9 months on the years lease I signed here. My plans are, fix up my trucks, try to salvage what I can from or to save some face from moving here. Admit to all that I know I was wrong about things, Idaho or what I thought(shows what thinking does for you) move back to Utah, even if I have to tuck tail between my legs, settle in there. Try to get my place of birth changed from Idaho to anywhere else but Idaho. Like it to be Georgia or hell even freezing Wyoming, but never Idaho, forget Idaho exists. Idaho might be nice for some folks, but it ain't for me. Makes me still wonder why mom and dad moved here in the first place upon their retirement in 1972. Wish we hadn't. Couldn't do much about my environment then, but I damn well can now. What really is a shame and the fingers really do point at them, but its a shame that one little puke of a town could break a once strong spirit. But as far as them , I don't care anymore. Now I begin to close this door. Hazzard County can just as easily be in Utah or Wyoming.
