The weather in some parts of Texas has been especially hot this year. That coupled with a lack of rain has equaled out a drought. This has affected the growing and selling of Christmas trees. The farmers are not having a good year.
Many trees are dying from the intense heat. Trees are being imported from other areas of the country in order to meet demand. The effect on the local Texas economy is expected to last for several years as many saplings have died as well. I hope they get a break soon.
Since there are hundreds of people who work where I do, we always seem to have problems that need to be solved. It seems that whenever the shifts change, some people are having a tough time finding the things they brought to work. While I am sure that no one actually sets out to steal something, there might be times when they borrow it. That’s why we decided that installing some small lockers might help keep our employees items secure.
We started to look into having some office lockers installed. I found a good site called morelockers.com that had just what we needed. I talked with a representative over the phone and he was very helpful. It turns out that they carry a full line of products. The prices were well within our budget and that made it an easy choice. I was glad things went so smoothly.
Now things are so much better for everyone. When a person comes to work they can put their stuff in a locker and not have to worry about it anymore. I always say that “good fences make good neighbors” and it has turned out to be true for us. I am ready to take on the next problem we encounter as this one seems to be solved.
Besides watching football on Thanksgiving Day, my of my favorite things to watch is the news about those who wait for a store to open for days before black Friday. I wonder of these people are really as crazy as they seem. Going through all that trouble just to shop??
I think I’ll do what I always do and that is to stay home and order my things on the internet. Why fight the crowds when I can have what I need delivered to my house. These people are just not thinking to clearly. They are fun to watch though.
The unemployment rate is always being watched by investors. That’s why it is good that the unemployment rate fell by 1% this month. That means that many more people have found jobs this month. I think that this is good for the economy.
Many experts believe that the economy is improving as a whole. This will help local businesses that have been struggling. The housing market is always a concern. But some areas are doing well in that regard. I hope the trend will continue.
