REPRINT FROM A BLOGGER FRIEND:
This article by a blogging friend is so true, funny, and entertaining. She granted permission to re-print in its entirety. It tells the story of traffic cameras in metro Atlanta, Georgia. Detailing why they were installed, the astronomical cost, the trapping of victimes, cost of fines, etc. It is an interesting article.
About two years ago, I moved from Atlanta to Hall County’s Gainesville, Georgia. It’s a pretty little town, about 50 miles north of Atlanta, nestled not far from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It has a beautiful historic district of old Southern mansions in midtown.
It’s not very far from Commerce, Georgia, where I was born. In years past, I would drive through here on my way roaming around in beautiful North Georgia. Back in the late 60s, I used to visit a friend—one of my oldest and dearest friends, Grace Zabriski, a movie actress now living in Hollywood—at Brenau College that is located around here. Grace has been in many movies like “The Burning Bed” starring Farrah Fawcett, the movie starring Sally Fields about the mill worker, and many others, as well as having many appearances on “Seinfeld.”
Ideas on creating a job
Yesterday I heard on the news that eight percent of jobs in this country were related to the housing industry. With the housing market in a dire financial situation, I know many are out of work. However, do not be despondent, put on your thinking cap and figure out a way to create your own job and make a living.
Hearing all the news about unemployment and the increasing number looking for a job, this might give you some ideas.
I was looking for a job after getting a divorce. I was having difficulty finding one when a dear friend of mine said to me, “instead of looking for one, create your own job.” This was some of the best advice I ever received back in the seventies.
