DATELINE - SCHUYLKILL COUNTY(AKA "THE STICKS"):
Absolutely nothing is happening here. Which, I guess, is actually a good thing. There's alot of shit happening all over the world.
You know what I found out today? Apparently, I'm poor. I've never considered myself poor. My family never had alot, but I didn't think we were poor. However, watching CNN, I learned that the average income in the 9th Ward of New Orleans was $27,499/year. Wow, right now I'm on track to make about $26,940 this year. And this is the most I've ever made. My mother never in her life made $27,000 in one year(In fact, she informs me that she's never made $20,000 in a year.). Never mind, what my grandparents made. So I did a little research(The internet is a wealth of knowledge). The average income for Schuylkil County is $26,122. So at least I'm not alone. I do understand that livin' here in the sticks is probably cheaper than livin' in what was New Orleans. Here's the kicker - the national average is $56,644/year. God, what I could do with fifty grand a year! Oh, well, I may be financially poor, but I am rich with family and friends. And I guess that beats benjamins every time.
