The total compensation at Wally World isn’t too bad. What is abysmal is the holiday pay. Most people in the US get at least six paid holidays and nine or ten is becoming common.

Entitled Brats
The former soccer player best known for kneeling and whining has come out and said her job kicking a ball around was the worst job. Here’s a clue just for you Megs.

Warm autumn

The timing was nearly perfect because it wasContinue reading “Finishing the garden up.”
Jack Frost is coming soon

By Wednesday the low should be around 20 degrees, too cold for covers to work although I might be able to saveContinue reading “Jack Frost is coming soon”
