The Little Lummox scouts out the economy....
I took the Lummox for a walk today while MFH spent the day learning how to center herself with prayer. Sounds kind of Zen to me. Went all the way down to School Street and along Moravian Creek. Lummox loves to walk through the little industrial area there. Well, actually he loves to walk among the dumpsters of the restaurants we come to first, hoping that he will find something to pop into his mouth. Whether or not it is edible is a question he prefers to deal with later.
Today after we came through the UPS truck park, we found Builders Choice, makers of cabinets and countertops, once again going strong. Lots of cars in the workers lot, lots of saws sawing, blowers blowing and sawdust flying. The loading dock door was open and a truck was pulled in ready to be loaded. The workers' cars had dealers stickers on them from Statesville and Elkin and Jefferson. It was nice to see all of the activity, especially on a dreary Saturday morning. The workshop has been going like this for the last two or three days that Lummox has investigated. Good to know someone in Wilkes is getting orders, hiring people, and getting some money into the county.
And at the end of the month: MERLFEST! That usually brings in about $14 million.
