Self Storage- I can't Outbid my Government

Its 94 degrees and 55% humidity. Its hot.

Trying to wrap up our last location. Both the Building pad and the Road crew are pouring concrete today. Normally neither of them pour in this type of weather. Puts to much stress on the concrete and on the workers. Normally they would shoot to start pouring around 8 to 10 in the morning and be done around 1pm. Today both had to wait till around 2:30 to start. They have tried for three days to get concrete and this is the only time they could get scheduled, thus they weren't going to pass it up.

The cement company has 68 trucks but only 30 drivers. This company can't get the other 38 or so drivers to come back to work.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke.

Thought of this comment as I was thinking about why the 38 truckers weren't working. Then I asked myself who is Edmund Burke. I've heard the saying but never anything about the person.

Found another quote from him:

“a sort of people who affect to proceed as if they thought that men may deceive without fraud, rob without injustice, and overturn every thing without violence”. This was stated around 1760 to 1790. He was part of British parliament during the US fight for independence.

The above quote actually makes me "comfortable". What comes around, goes around.

In the future, we will be able to order concrete for morning delivery, lumber prices will go down, Arby's won't be out of Jamocha Milk shakes (another post), etc.

I'm going to keep building and investing. And not run for government ("for good men to do nothing").
