Yah I think he learned a valuable lesson. Good thing I happen to have one of the outer limit supply first aid kits in my office since I couldn't find our house first aid kit.... Made quick work with cleaning the cut..
Our choices came down to Colorado Springs and Boise. But in the end, Boise had more to offer regarding all of our families goals and needs.
As for the economy and jobs, this area seems to have plenty of work, and actually has a lack of skilled labors. Based on my demographics research, the area hasn't been flooded with south of the border workers yet either. I see NOW HIRING signs everywhere. I do know based on our income we entered the upper 5% of earners when we moved here. So if you work remotely, you can live a very comfortable life in this area. The median income is 34k for the whole area. So wages are probably lower.
It's also a good rental market for investors. Solid diverse economy (rare in the PNW outside the coastal cities), growing middle class, vacancy is 2.8%, housing shortage currently and low housing costs. SFH under 150k, MFH 220k - perfect for our current goals. We picked up a SFH (single family home) for base of operations, that we can rent next year when we move to another. And are closing on a triplex that will cashflow now. Getting our feet in the game.
Overall, it's a decent launching place for adventure and starting a new business path. We can get into the Saw Tooths in under 2 hours. And we just spent a couple days here in Glacier, which wasn't bad with a 9hr drive. It's a big change from it taking just 4 hours to get out of the state of Florida.
I could get used to this.
When I was 10 or so, my dad gave me my first pocket knife, one I'd been begging for that sat in his toolbox for years.

Fastforward to about an hour later, sitting in the front yard, for whatever dumb reason, I was stabbing the ground with it. It wasn't a locking folder, just a folder. It folded. Cut my pinky wide open to the bone.
I haven't stopped stabbing the ground, but now I only use locking folders or fixed blades.
^^^^Oh...then why the heck do they have to torment me with the blurred images of the same damned video on the margins? <smart phone illiterate> I don't think I've ever taken a video on my phone, I guess I could have my 6 year old grandson show me.
I'm not going to tell whole my sad story (to me) regarding "Reserve America". Only that, try to make reservations at The Silver Strand, San Diego, at $65.00 per night! Then show up with a trailer the lady at the gate says does not have the required equipment. You'll be asked to leave, when you ask for a refund, you'll be told NO REFUNDS! That being said I'll never use them again, period.
