I heard that you could get a permit to make your own ‘ethanol’ for your own private use.  Heck, no one calls it ‘ethanol’ up here and there’s plenty of it still made without a permit but I didn’t want it for anything but my mowers and stuff like that.  Well now I know why these others don’t have a permit. 

Sure the government will give you a permit but you have to jump through about a hundred different hoops to get it.  You even have to give them your ‘recipe’ for the ‘ethanol’.  By the time they issue the permit, you’re tuning into oil in the ground yourself.  That and I don’t think these other guys are putting what they make in the tank of their lawn mowers either.

Okay, you caught me, I’m blond and sometimes it’s hard to keep me on one subject, ya know?  My mind goes from one thing to another so fast sometimes I can’t even keep up with it but I usually come back to what I started with before you know it too.  See we get a lot of ‘city folk’ as we call them and they can’t leave their laptops home because they think their lives will end if their hands aren’t attached to their laptops so I provide wireless internet to make them happy.  Gotta do what you can to bring the customers in and keep them happy and coming back.

Speaking of online, we also offer wireless internet here at my place.  I haven’t told you what I call my little establishment here, have I?   It’s called Heavenly Acres!!  No not Green Acres either.  There’s a little farm about 10 miles from here and the name of it is ‘Little Ass Farm’.  They raise miniature donkeys.  Isn’t that just too cute?  I thought it was.  Laughed my rear off when I saw it.

I started off talking about insurance and ended up on everything else.  Such is life.  Anyway, I do have 5 people that I employ year round and for them, I also provide health insurance coverage.  I have found that the better you take care of your employees, the better they take care of you so that is not a luxury, it’s a staple here.  I found the best group rates online.  Even got a check up on my homeowners and business insurance too.  Can’t be too careful now can you?

Insurance is very important in my kind of establishment.  I employ about 10 people during the peak seasons of……………..well pretty much all year because people like to come here in the summer when it’s really hot because it’s not so hot up here. 

They love the spring because of the new leaves and flowers and everything coming back to life.  They love fall because of the fall colors so I guess winter is sort of my down time unless the ski slops that aren’t too far from here are booked solid and the snows just right for skiing.  I get their overflow. 

Skiing and Christmas trees are the main industries up here.
