At that time houses were being built in Valley North subdivision. The shortest route was to go north on Methodist Farm, turn east on Forest Ave. then about 2 miles to Valley North. After getting suspicious about one driver taking so long to make delivers to this area I followed him. South on Methodist Farm, west on Northside Dr., south on Delta Dr. to 5 points, east on Woodrow Wilson to I-55N, exit at Northside Dr. and proceed west to Watkins Dr. Then north on Watkins to Valley North. He then did the reverse to get back to the warehouse. Beside the mileage, he added an extra 30 to 45 minutes to the trip. Do this several times a day, 5 days a week and it adds up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-75476882934579351682016-09-19T15:24:52.062-05:002016-09-19T15:24:52.062-05:00Don't be dissing on Mr. Sam.Don't be dissing on Mr. Sam.

The emphasis is on doing as little as possible during work hours, while GETTING as much as possible. Multiply fifty Cents per instance, against ten daily instances. Multiply that by half the city employees. It becomes clear, why it's too much trouble to pull curbside weeds (and thus necessary to spray them with herbicide, and just leave them, dead and brown and unsightly, taking years to deteriorate), too much trouble to trim branches obscuring street signs, too hard and costly, to remove the trash from the water features in Smith Park (trash, reportedly "accumulates" in the water features, and this is one "reason" for the park's getting a costly re-do. It wouldn't "accumulate", if certain someones were doing their jobs.).<br /><br />That's why the streets seem to be deteriorating faster than they can be repaired, and why the city water situation is a surrealist dark comedy. I'm sure there are City employees doing their jobs, people working more hours than they're paid to work, and paying for petty expenses out of their own pockets. Those people are heroes. But in Jackson, those people seem to be a smaller percentage of the workforce.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-87500654932602593962016-09-19T10:47:22.862-05:002016-09-19T10:47:22.862-05:00So a worker is working on county line.
