joegodahuh. The unemployment rate for the US in September was at 9.8 percent. Almost ten percent. Pert near plumb. With a current population of 307,602,055, give or take some newborns, that's 30145001. Minus decimal stuff. I tend to round down cuz I'm an optimist. Kinda sad, ain't it?
My department talked to the Sprint Tech department yesterday, something we do on a fairly regular basis. We were told that some of their technical and customer support offices were underwater. I suspect these are the ones in India, that have been deluged with rain for several days and are currently flooding. Then again, it could have been anywhere with a lot of water. Sprint's like that. My money's on India, though.
It's a chilly day this second of October, here in the fine state of Oklahoma. The sun is out, the clouds are few and the fair is going on downtown. Course, there's no Bells amusement park any more, and the racetrack is gone... or at least not in service ever again. The water park is going the way of the Dodo bird as well. So, I don't know, really, if I'll go. I haven't for five years. It won't be the same without walking down to Bells and riding Fantasmagoria.
Anyway, it's my day off, so I may just go to the Ray Harrell nature park in Broken Arrow. Took my lil sis, Capi there last year in March. I hear things have changed, so maybe it'll be a bit more modern, a bit more cleaned up. You know. Like nature was intended to be.
Ya'll have fun. I'll check in later, gator.
