What Happened!!??

For those of you who are a bit more…’mature’…or who grew up in the South, you will get the following reference. Did you ever watch the Andy Griffith Show, and then you saw it go from black and white to color, then to that terrible Mayberry RFD? And you were like, this stinks, I liked it better the old way, well, that’s what it is like here. Everybody is different, attitudes mostly. I don’t know what went down over the last 6 months but it was catastrophic. Not so many friendly villagers, the staff is all wrapped around the axle about something, and worst of all, I can’t find ANY of the coffee supplies I left here.
The food, don’t even get me started! No more cool, exotic entrees, it is rice, beans, fish, and corned beef. THAT’S IT! I have gotten the sense that, more so than usual, people are being more demanding of us. More free stuff, more batteries, money, etc., etc. It has gotten to the point where I had to physically remove someone from my front porch because he couldn’t get past NO! after 20 minutes. It was the little old guy I gave the cowboy hat to. I don’t know what’s going on, but I don’t like it one bit..
