The rich get richer and the poor get poorer

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer when will it ever end? I mean it is getting harder and harder to make ends meet ya try and work a full time job like I have for the past 15 years and it adds up to nothing but the refrigerate isn't as full as it used to be. Buying food is a joke even going to the dollar stores don't seem to be a bargain anymore and I have tried to find a second joke but never get any calls maybe thats a good thing because I would never have time to spend with the wife and kids if I did and paying the bills NOW there is a sad story in it self.

Seems like the American dream for people that live from check to check like me is GONE.

Now the land lord gets on my case for being later and later on the rent, Being a father of 3 with a wife is just pain getting hard to live. When will it ever get better like politicians keep saying :(

 

Thanks for your time and if I misspelled anything please forgive

A funnel cloud and thunder strom (Weather in Batavia)

Here is a video I took (quality isn't good) of what looks like a funnel cloud the date I didn't recored but I'm guessing it was about 5 years ago in the summer and there was no tornado warnings for Genesee county just thunder storm warnings.

Here is another  video from about 7 or 8 years ago looking out my back yard in Batavia in the summer at night just before a thunder storm. There was no thunder so I took out the audio and I also used the camcorders night vision to enhance the look

 

I love to catch lighting on tape so if I get any more I'll post them for the weather buff here in Batavia on the www.thebatavian.com
