Well I'm a pretty happy guy right now. And no, Ed, it's got nothing to do with you.
I've been worried about the farm that I used to work at because the two brothers who own it had no will or any plans for it in case either one of them passed on. I envisioned a big family feud over it because someone thought it would be such a freakin great idea to develop a 100+ year old farm.
But the front page of the paper today bore the headline "State to buy development rights to 82 acre farm" with a picture of the old farmhouse under it and then the article.
Then in the article there was a quote from an individual representing the state saying how they're buying the development rights to make sure it remains agricultural land forever. I'm extremely happy right now. I still imagine there will be a bit of a squabble over it, but not anywhere near as bad as it would've been had they been able to develop it.
The one guy's kids I don't know very well, but the original Edmo on the farm there has 2 daughters. For one it would break her heart to see it developed. The other is a greedy woman who I can't stand.

Hey, it's Iowa. I just assume it'll rain, so I can be pleasantly surprised when it doesn't.

Good evening everyone.
What's been happening?
I got a job again, for how long I don't know. But, it's work for now.
Sheldon got married? Congrats.
Hey Jay, how's it going?
Hi Lisa, Jim, Pete and Lee. And to anyone else lurking.

Same thing I was doing before, with the same company. Probably only a couple weeks worth, but I'm fine with that.
Thanks Jay.
BTW, I'm working in your area, Weaver Lk Rd and 83rd Way.
Good night Jay, headed to bed myself.
