wcw43921 Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Yeah--I could live on $500 a month in my hometown, but in California? Not likely. Still, I imagine there are those in Stockton who'd willingly take the money if they met the criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks is pretty quick considering. Still, I'm waiting to see what actual fixes to systems and procedures are put into place, aside from the band-aids that were implemented on the day.

THat is definitely plus to living in a small town, everything is cheaper (except electricity) Edit: And some services you take for granted in a city, you'll have to solve on your own.

Hermit Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Punxsutawny Phil, while the most famous, is but one of the groundhogs . And good thing. Really, I advise folks turning to large rodents for oracular skill and meteorological advice to try the nearest regional because the continent of North America is huge and weather patterns can get trickier the larger the scale is. So keep your groundhog worship local- it's just good science!! wcw43921 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Meh, groundhog-o-mancy is just another manifestation of East Coast bias. If you live east or north of the boundary between Arkansas and Texas, you have groundhogs. The rest of the country doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
