Saturday Morning

 Another Saturday Morning in the Lil City by the Red.... Another humid, sweat dripping morning, 

Temps are rising fast these days, the humidity is there also, for folks coming to Louisiana, better move a lil bit slower, wear loose clothes.. There are visitors over on Elliott Street from Missouri.  They still have not adjusted to the temps.

I was reading the City Council agenda here yesterday, all the grass cutting contracts are being awarded.. we pay a lot of money for cutting grass in the Lil City.  

I'm headed in mid June to Leakesville Ms.  to audit another corrections unit for the Great State of Mississippi, it's a four and half hour drive ... at lest its keeping my brain from becoming idle . and it adds a few coins to the coffers . I can buy a better Scotch.. 

Other than the above, life continues to flow at a pace that is tranquil to say the lest.. I can tell that being single, in a semi rural environment, is a conscript for loneliness,   I have to get out of this mode and break open by going to lunch or supper more often, being seen by the Populace Here...

Just Doing

 Well not much to say, other than I am finally getting a good road learning the Mississippi Dept of Corrections.  They are not a fast pace organization, which has some rewards.. especially for a semi-retired Person.

 I am working from home mostly and have gained an appreciation of that status.   I am working early this morning in that I didn't sleep well last night having a fretful time in falling asleep..  I think its the weather, we are climbing into the 90s now in the hottest part of the day.. Temps at night are inching up too, towards 70 .. soon the temps at night will be in the 80s ... Summer is basically here.. 

Other than that my lastest doctors appt said I was doing well, managing the multiple health concerns that I have.   Not much else to say.. .Just Doing.

Stopping to check on Folks

ITs been quite sometime since I posted,  I have been working in the the state of Mississippi, seems that I have gained a reputation as a good Correctional Administrator and have been Hired to Consult for the Commissioner of Corrections of the Great State of Mississippi .. . Learning an entirely new system takes on a special challenge, but in the end, public employees are the same.  you have good ones, bad ones, and ones that don't want to change.

 Other than the traveling its been an eye awakening experience for sure..  Not sure how long I will be there, could be another three months or could be 12 months. who knows.. I'm just enjoying providing my knowledge and seeing some transformation
