Re: Dying art
I was thinking the same thing. Seems to me the American people have taken a huge leap of faith into the unknown but their choice was a difficult one. We're all hoping!

Re: Dying art
As for the youngsters not being interested in old cars - My three grandsons aged 6, 9, and 11 are already arguing who will get which car when grandma and me are gone.
I am betting that the granddaughters will win as women are so much smarter. |

Re: Dying art
I've seen people use an existing railroad track as an anvil! This was at a ranch that bordered the Burlington Northern in a location I won't name. The fellow working the metal told me it was not a problem because the section was straight. I doubt the BN would agree.

We offer a 1 year certificate or a 2 year construction management AAS degree. (a real 2 year college degree, transferrable to any college in the nation). Our recruitment efforts used to be aimed at high school graduates. Now our recruitment efforts are those 22 to 30 years old. Why you might ask? We found that most of our students had to go out and either try college or try work, and they found that neither worked for them, or they found that the jobs they were able to get had no career, and they were destined for endless low pay, no insurance, and surprisingly no satisfaction. They also had gotten married, had a few kids, and realized that they wanted more out of life for themselves and their new family. Our program offered a sense of satisfaction, a piece of paper that said they could do something, and the start of a real career with many opportunities. I guess what you didn't learn in high school, the school of hard knocks quickly filled in. Our students are dedicated, eager to learn, and come with some skills already. But most importantly, they know the value of an education, and all leave our program to be very successful. It is not society, not the school system, not the generation you were a part of, but the individual. Some learn this lesson in 4 years of high school, and some take a little longer. |

Re: Dying art
It seems to me, that when a SUBJECT or PREDICTION comes up for discussion, about 2/3 of the folks in the world, choose a NEGATIVE viewpoint.

But, if they disagree with that viewpoint they are twice as likely to reply a counterpoint. So, it is not 2/3 of all people but rather 2/3 of those that reply that disagree. |
