Here’s a Strange Indicator of What People Are Thinking…

Ron on September 14, 2012 in Uncategorized

…about the 2012 election.

Campers. Motor-homes. Travel-Trailers.

In my neighborhood, it’s not unusual to see the occasional camper appear in front of someone’s house - it’s a pretty middle-class area, with families/kids/etc., so every now and then, someone will pick up something from Craigslist and try their hand at RV’ing…

Occasionally.

And usually in early-to-mid spring (early if it’s a fixer-upper).

I went out today and noticed a change.

Campers - invariably Older - Class Cs, Class As, fifth-wheels, travel-trailers - Jamborees, Arrows, Ralleys, Winnies … they’re recent additions, and they’re EVERYWHERE.

I live a little south of Denver, and this is NOT the season for buying an RV (just as you’re about to be unable to use it?).

So what’s going on? Is this some sort of gestalt, where everyone starts **simultaneously** setting up alternative housing …that’s capable of leaving on short-notice?

On a good day, I don’t believe in coincidence - and it’s been a while since there was a ‘good day’.

Am I looking at one of those moments when ‘everybody knows’ - but nobody’s talking about it?

    Wabbit season?

    People are still losing their jobs and losing their homes. Small businesses with too much gravel under their fingernails are waiting for the election to decide whether to keep hanging on or let go. Rolling tent? Just another contingency plan element I suppose, for those with no bolt hole. Because if they don’t already have that set up, it would be too late.
