Six weeks

That's how long it's been since some of Gary's comrades in Knoxville have worked.

Knoxville used to be a town where you would work in the production field sometimes 22 days in a row every month in the really busy months.

Last year the 'busy months' were 13 days.

That's why we moved to Alaska in a hard little nutshell.

And that's why our house won't rent in a hard little nutshell.

Andrew and I were talking about some of the places like that--or Detroit--that are struggling so badly. I sure hope it rents soon for you. Crazy times.
