Yellowstone Adventure - Day 37

   Payday today. Last week I work 39.72 hours. Not exactly the 32 I was promised, but I still don't have a roommate. So it balances out for me.
  Well I will have to make an addition to yesterday's blog. I forgot to tell you that I experienced my first Yellowstone earthquake yesterday, but I did not know it. Yesterday at five in the morning there was a 2.1 earthquake centered in the old faithful area. I did not feel it or wake up but a few of those living in Yellowstone Lake felt it.  I guess it is normal around here and not too many were concerned.
  The shift today went pretty well the same as yesterday. Busy in the morning and slow in the evening with stock work to be done.  The biggest issue today was what happened in Britain today. If you are not up on current events the British voted today to leave the European Union. The vote was very close. Somewhere around fifty two percent to forty eight percent. The prime minister even resigned. This event triggered a lot of panic in the stock markets around the world. I talked to the two British guys we have working with us and they were for leaving. I talked to British customers today who thinks that leaving was very bad. I talked to a Scottish person who said Britain just made a very bad mistake. There was a lot of talk and I can see how divided they were. The real effect on our British boys here is that their British money that they carry just lost a great percentage of its value to convert to American dollars.
  Nothing much major happened. Talked to many customers and a couple who have been on the road since April 1 st seeing America.
  Well that is about all for today. Another late shift tomorrow. Take care all and do good to those around you.
