It's December, and time for winter to fully arrive. Out here in A Remote Western Town, winter is typically difficult, cold and long. This year, the weather has been kind. Trick or Treating without snow was a delight. A late November horseback ride was a welcome addition. But now that it's December, it's time for snow and the quiet solace of winter.
While the weather has been kind, simple economics has not. The price of beef is down. High paying oil and gas jobs are disappearing with recent price drops, and the lay offs, lower home prices and general economic fears are impacting A Remote Western Town. We're isolated geographically, but not economically. This season may prove a difficult one indeed.
