Only costs i care about are food, gas, alcohol, and cigarettes. The rest of the cost of living is being paid for by the company.

It's like you can see forever across the high plains. Hope ya like storms.


I noticed when driving to Az the high plains use really cool short buses. The one I saw was AWD like this but had like a cow catchers on the front.

No such thing as a snow day for those kids.

You really can't beat that dude. I assume this is on top of a decent pay bump?

I was intending to move to Zanesville, by the way.

It looks like it'll be Kansas. So, "go west young man" will be both of us.

If you have time to spare at all, do some traveling. Since you have never been west of Louisville, you should really get out to some of the natural stuff this country can offer out west.
