1:30am Friday. Step outside to smoke. Can hear the roar of the plants 2 miles down the road. Hot and humid outside. Ugh... can see a bloom cloud over the plants cooling tower. Glad I'm not working anymore.

New Mexico sounds pretty good.

At least you can't see the towers. You have a beautiful power pole to look at instead! And the drums to listen to!
@AstralSmoke. Lol.... awww.... positivity!
My plants don't make near that much noise.

Mine plays the drums...
@BucketlistBob That's really cool. I bet it reverberates.
One thing I don't miss about The South is the weather. At 5,000 ft. in No. Colorado, I can sit out on my back porch anytime during the summer and not be uncomfortable. Often time I need a sweatshirt or light jacket. Very few insects, too. Sure, winters can have cold stretches, but nothing like it used to be.

considering he mentioned a 'cooling tower' Im assuming power, most likely coal.
Refinery and aluminium and chemical and tire and plastic. Its all around me.
. Money i mean
@BucketlistBob
So you retired rich ???
@BucketlistBob, @dellik
Have never seen vegetable and flower plants next toba cooling tower ?
@VAL3941 I retired ok... I am saying opportunity is all around us. It's up to you to understand this and to acquire the skills to apply for these jobs. We have had to build housing called man camps to shelter thousands of workers from elsewhere to work here. Louisiana did not have the people or the housing for them.
@VAL3941 no I havent seen the toba cooling tower.
This is what I'm talking about...
@BucketlistBob
OK! Keep your shirt on ! Was only pulling your leg !
@VAL3941. Im ok brother.... i have to understand that a question just that or i may accidentally send the wrong message....you know what i mean?
@BucketlistBob

@VAL3941, @BucketlistBob You guys are really funny!
@AstralSmoke
