You can't help but notice the sunshine and blue skies as California enters yet another season of doom and gloom, according to State officials. Schools districts, colleges and universities are scrambling in emergency meetings to figure out how to survive the budget cut threats. It's as if everyone just sits back and waits for the next shoe to fall.
How many bankruptcies do I recall? One or two so far. And did anything seem to change? Not really. In Orange County where I live, we're told that we need to scale back water use, yet they keep building houses and high rise buildings. Is anybody held accountable for planning our future? It doesn't seem that there's much thought going into the future. I could think that it's because I'm getting older that I don't feel much hope, but I read that surveys of college aged adults and teens also show a gloomier picture than in recent decades.
While we still have our sunshine and beaches, and I have a mortgage on a house that sits in a flood plain smack dab on the Newport Inglewood fault, the weather is fine, my computer works today, and I must keep on keeping on. Life is good...sort of. As long as you don't analyze things.
