eric update


Please sit back and enjoy this nice little story.

Once upon a time there was a man named Eric. His construction business in Boise took a down turn with the economy so he decided to look for work elsewhere. He spent a couple weeks researching hurricane debris removal in Texas and Louisiana, packed up his bags and drove 2000 miles away.

He was ensured to make excellent money, therefore justifying being away from his family. Well people are liars. He found out that workers were not getting paid and that FEMA was terribly unorganized.

Out a couple weeks of his time and lots of money, Eric has decided to find work on his own. He has been able pick up a few odd end jobs using his trailer and skidster as well as recycling scrap metal. This man will not give up.

Here comes my favorite part:

He now is living in his truck. He has become close friends with a felon (and this felon's kitty). The felon has done 20 years in prison for armed robbery and murder. At this same camp site he has also befriended some men from Florida and their camp trailer, 'The Vogue'.

He will have been gone 3 weeks this Wednesday. As of this moment it has been a total waste of time, but things are slowly looking up. I guess we will just have to see what happens to our main character as the days progress.

To be continued...
