There are days like today I gets ta thinkin never should have exited Utah. After all had I stayed, the radio gear I had in reach from KSOP would have been in my hot little hands I could have kept the gear we already had and the list goes on. Not faulting Gooding, or the surrounding area and there is one last breath left, but if that goes sour I really have no choice but to put the get at it and do a U-Haul to Utah.
I used to think Utah was severely restricted, both in attitude and aptitude. Reality is Utah is more industrious than Idaho. Gooding and its nearby neighbors including Hazzard itself while all nice people and all, has not seen an industrial evolution and the exiting jobs and commerce, not to mention tax revenue both from property taxes as well as sales taxes is the result. I used to think that the booze laws of Utah, was a culprit. The fact is Utah in many ways hazz began to right its wrongs. Idaho is looking to becoming a dry state. Saw an article in the Slime News today about some drug store owner in Twinky Flatts who was hoarding a bunch of liquor licenses. Seems as though the ISP/BAC pulled his plug and now he's a bitching about it. Idaho allows a new license for every increase of population of 1,500. But at the rate Idaho is going few areas are increasing in population, let alone 1,500. Idaho is a place where folks go to retire and/or farm, not to create dreams or commerce. The farm side I respect, as I eat and few in even Utah will refute the fact that I sang the song of Production Agriculture in Utah, so loud that it became deafening. Although I'll not be in farming, I give a salute to those who do. As I eat and all who eat are involved in Production Agriculture as the aging sign on the side of a silo near Declo Idaho will attest. But there are rural areas of Utah as well as I have an aging cuzzin there. So if and its a big IF, the deal here in Gooding goes into the toilet, its I'm outta here to Utah. Yes Utah is over taxed and over regulated going towing wise. But there are times I say , should have listened to more gray haired advice from Cuzzin Bud and stayed in Utah. Our hindsite is always 20/20 and while you can't fix history ya'll can learn from it. While moving in winter or during a school term is not wise this living on next to nothing is nearly killing me. Not that I was spilling over in money down there, but I was able to get junk hauling jobs with Lexi there from salvage yards, to salvage yards. Never have been able to do that here. My friend in MH said it best , you really cain't move home. I'm beginning to believe him. Come Spring I'll make that decision. For now just looking at maintaining .
