Moving Day is Almost Here!!

I try to use this blog for my love of yarn and fiber crafts only but today I am going to change it up a little bit.

My family and I have decided to take the plunge and leave California.  I have had to quit my job in law enforcement to go, and I don't have any new prospects, but we're going anyway.  Where are we headed? Boise, Idaho.

We are looking for a slower pace of life without as much crime, better schools, and different politics.  I worked in law enforcement for 13 years and I loved nearly every minute of it.  Lately, though, with the current political and economic situations, I have grown to dislike my work. 

I am tired of twenty-something scumbags thanking me for paying my taxes and allowing them to live off the state; oh and allow them to have a medical marijuana prescription for some made up ailment.  I am also depressed by parents of young children (and I'm talking about those under 18 years old) who can't raise their kids but want me to come to their house and fix a lifetime of bad behavior in the ten minutes I am able to provide. 

I can't help people the way I want to because budget cuts have shut down nearly every assistance program available, except for, of course, welfare.  Criminals are being let back out on the street and wreaking havoc and there is nothing anyone can do about it.  Governor Moon Beam rules the roost again, and is driving California to Hell in a handbasket.

It's pretty sad to me when government officials spend more time trying to keep a professional sports team in their town than worrying about providing mental health care and social programs to their citizens.  As it stands right now, local hospitals have to take in anyone legally deemed suicidal.  The emergency rooms are over run and there is no end in sight.

That is just one of many reasons we have decided to go.  Maybe I'll tell you about the others at a different time.

For everyone in California reading this, I wish you all the best of luck. 

See you soon (yeah I'm only kidding about that.  I have no plans on coming back).
