Yesterday I was bringing packages away at the local delivery point in my hometown. I ran across a guy I used to cycle to high school with. This was over 20 years ago… he was not looking good at all. So I brought up some old discussion topics we used to have when cycling. We both liked the Nissan skyline GTR back in those days. It gave him a big smile. He said he lost it after high school. First worked a bit in a warehouse, but was lost to alcohol and drugs and started stealing. He told me he was famous in the city of Oss for his steals. This guy was in the highest grade high school and has been roaming the streets for 20 years now. It’s sad to see so many people lost, even in a small town like this. When I grew up I never expected to see so much decline. I moved back to my hometown a couple years ago, but this doesn’t look like the place where I grew up in. We’re not going to expose our kids to this toxic environment. We have some ideas to move. Where would you move to?
