i was born in a small town
so we went to see that brad springstien fellow in concert tonight. thought he did the song "born in a small town," which is what gave me the idea for today's weasel. turns out my wife had the date wrong, and the concert is actually tomorrow night. in a further twist, turns out one of the band members has a detached retina so the whole concert was called off until mid-march. anyway, i realized "born in a small town" was actually by that jack jaguar watermeloncamp character, but it was already too late; i'd composed this whole weasel in my head, needed to post it without letting journalistic standards like accuracy stand in the way
here's some highlights from the census data on my home villiage of beaufort (motto: "we'd have called it BFE, but that's a place you might have heard of") missouri
418 people in 145 households
- 418 of those people are white.
- 418 of those people live in "rural areas or on farms."
only 8 families with a combined household income over 75k.
33% of the homes have 3 or more income-earning individuals.
average combined income for dual-income families is $43,128
median home value is $54,000.
