  7. Moving to a new state. Weighing my options.

    Atlanta was one of the first to experience the migration from the liberal states, many from the east coast in that example. As in many of the desirable conservative areas, the liberals move there for things like easy going lifestyle, family-friendly, cheaper cost of living etc. and then bring...

    You're in for culture shock from Peoples Republic of California to the heart of the south. A thought might be to expand your search to include traffic control/traffic management companies. Seems like you might have transferable skills.

  12. Color fluctuation - L 560

  15. What to charge? Or not?

    Keep your friends close and enemies closer. I occasionally sell supplies at a reasonable margin to the part-time 'semi-professional', but not the nickel/dime stuff. Gives me a better idea of what they are doing and if you force them to work at building supply lines, they will just take the...
