Ahhuhh
Wait, let’s back up some
The news is full out of control young people, Millennials they are known as
I for one am damn tired of hearing or reading about them; it’s very seldom the news carries stuff about the good Millennials. I shall speak up for those young people.
If you know nothing of the Mohawk know this
they are Fearless
Many tall buildings and bridges were built and are still built by the Mohawk
Well this one isn’t Mohawk, he’s a good portion Ojibwe
I got to spend a good part of the day with him. He was telling us he was finally at ground level. There’s 60 feet of rod an concrete in the hole. He’s like super happy to be out of the damn hole. Still 190 feet as yet to go up. Drinking on a beer he says “look, I’m not at work, I don’t wanna talk work, I got til the end of November, probably into December yet to go”.
This kid started stacking wood when he 8/9 years of age for a tree service because he had a friend whose dad owned the business. He was driving a mule at age 15
For those that don’t know what mule looks like
The owner’s kid found a different route in school
drugs
Bad business all around for that family. The one I see was recommended for Apprentice school by the owner
to which now he is a Foreman
So instead of talking work I asked “so how’s the social life?” He lit up like a Christmas tree, “I met a girl” he says
“well that’s a start” I replied. “do you ever meet girls?”
“no not really, always working” then he says “there’s a couple that drive cement trucks an a welder girl but they are are just guys with boobs”.
I just kinda looked at him along with everyone else. “So you like to do dinner or?…”
“ohh we done taco hell couple of times, and last week I took her fishing”. Then he says, “she’s only been fishing 2 times in her life, an both times taken for maybe 20 minutes…” Silence for a few moments “Her dad took her but he had no patience for fishing or kids and no one ever asked her so she never went. Parents divorced early on.”
“So ahhh you take her on the lake?” “No I took her pike fishing”
grinning an laughing he was
she caught one on the cable with lead; she started yelling it’s a monster! it’s monster! damn fish bit right through the lead an cable. SO what you are telling you have a Cora?
What’s that? forget kid,
before your time When he started talking about his CORA , his face looked like Hawkeye’s when she asks
“What are looking you at, sir”
I’m looking at you
ear to ear smile
then turns away
got stuff to do
hearing him and how talked about his CORA 🙂
it was like
that’s what we are fighting for Normalcy in Life
not what’s the daily drumbeat being shoved into our faces
so I suppose this my way giving a shout out to the good young people of America
