Priorities in the Great Southwest
I’ve been wondering lately if my hometown, Tucson, AZ. , is lost in the past or not.
I believe I have the answer now.
Here are some interesting “things” I’ve noticed in the last two weeks, here in Arizona.
Due to cost-cutting initiatives our local newspaper has decided to eliminate ALL STOCK LISTINGS except those of “local interest”!! We NEVER had the Dow 30 listed and now we’ve even less! - However, the paper has seen fit to INCREASE the size of it’s Cable TV listings! Priorities, I guess.
Second Instance - An acquaintance of mine, a renter, due to his landlord’s foreclosure, was forced to move about 120 feet to another unit this weekend. (He lives in a condominium complex.)
So, I’m thinkin’, based on PRIORITIES, that this would explain the additional fees from the utilities folks. To move 120 feet, the Electric company charged him thirteen dollars, very reasonable. However, the cable guys charged him 30 bucks!?!?! You wouldn’t even HAVE cable without electricity!. Priorities…It’s 2009 for gods sake, and Tucson STILL has white people with dreadlocks playing drums badly downtown! In San Fran, where I came from, we got over this drum-thing fifteen years ago.
“When the world ends, I want to be in Tucson, ’cause it’ll happen ten years later here.”
