Not a lot of you know this, but the Compound's faced by a small house which used to be a sewing shop and's now an AirBnb. What happens is this. AirBnb punters fly in and take up residence for a week or a month or two. Who are these people? Typically tradesmen, flown in by big money to work on bigger money projects, like data centers. And guess what, we've got plenty of that about, witness last night.
There we were, just taking it easy on the Front porch, country style, when a couple of carpenters walked over to join in the coniviv. Before you could say "clean that Glock," there we were, talking away. Word to the wise, these industrial level carpenters hate data centers and see them as a potential infringement on our civil liberty. They were also quiet, well considered, respectful young men.
I was most impressed and led them on a tour of Mission #1, which they loved as "historic." Good boys. Point of this shallow post? Don't doom out, there are many, many good people amongst us, not least in the Trades. University? Maybe a little bit more complex.
"What is lost is never gained again." Ahem, really? Let's have India back, for a start.
