I agree with both of you…. local shows are a lot of fun, but traveling as a group with friends is a great time also.
I’m counting down the days until Automotion, there is nothing better than getting the cars out of storage and heading up the highway for a weekend away!
I don’t go for the awards either, it’s more fun to be with family and friends. It’s a bonus to win an award and the feeling of accomplishment at the moment… after that they because dust collectors!
As for the price of gas and going to shows ~ it’s normally once a week to a cruise night and once a week to a show in the area… I don’t see that breaking the bank. I very rarely go out for lunch during the week, it’s not hard to stick $10 in your back pocket for a show.
Local shows also need to be supported, I don’t go to shows more than 30-45 minutes away. The last thing we want is some of these shows to no longer exist because no one attends.
“I heard a nurse talking today about how if she loses her collective bargaining rights, she will have no say in the number of hours she works or when the shifts occur. For example, she could be forced to work a double shift with no say in the matter. In a life-or-death situation like dealing with patients in the hospital, this does not seem like a good idea”
I cannot imagine anyone making a nurse work a double shift, common sense would tell you that’s not a good idea. Nurses are overworked and in short demand now. I agree, there is a lot more to this collective bargaining than we know, and agree it’s a good idea to educate ourselves.
Aaron, I agree with a lot of what you have said and if nothing else these changes will not be easy for anyone. While I respect anyone that’s in a union, at times I think unions are a sign of the past and it’s time to move forward. I know I can’t bargain with my employer for a raise, there are consequences for not performing my job like I’m paid to do and so on… If I chose not to show up for work like the democrats have, my job would’ve been terminated a long time ago, same with spending weeks protesting at the capitol. It’s a public building not a bed and breakfast, there are several peaceful law abiding citizens breaking through police lines to get in, and there are employees who cannot get their jobs done due to the protests. I know I wouldn’t want to crawl through windows to get to my desk and would hope my employer would not expect that out of me.
I do not agree with what he’s doing with education, our children are the voices of tomorrow and we need to give them every opportunity available to get a good education. Being a teacher today is much more than putting in your hours and going home, most teachers today play the role of parents, providers, counselors and so much more. I’d like to have my summers off also, some teachers use that time to further their education and so on, I chose not to go into the profession.
I don’t know where some of his ideas are coming from, but he is our Governor for at least the next year and all the protests in the world aren’t going to sway many of his decisions. If nothing else, hopefully we can learn and grow together to eventually make this a better state to live in.
The Mustang has been screwed up too in the last couple years, especially the tail lights which look way too small.
I never said they didn’t have a right to be there, I said no one should be living there for weeks at a time..
I didn’t get anything….
I tried to behave last year, I really did! I know many in the club didn’t get anything, I imagine next week.And… once it’s clean the doors should remain locked
I’ve also heard reports of damage and so on… You have to remember this is a historical place, our state capitol, and it wasn’t meant to be lived in! :angry:
agreed! wonder how it went today with the weather? I was nice and warm inside my home watching the great American race…
Great race today, the finish was perfect! Don’t be surprised if this kid get a full ride in the Cup series this week, well deserved!
If this weather forecast holds… let’s see how many show up. I commend both sides also but feel it’s time for at least the teachers to get back to work on focus on what their jobs are… you’ve had plenty of time to protest, and if they still feel the need ~ there is plenty of time after the kids go home for the day, correct?
