Absolutely; not an easy assignment.

My home town does not "openly show" signs of downturn yet.
As I consider the assignment
I think of having to go out of my comfort zone;
talk to people who may lead me to other people and places
who feel the pinch, etc.

Do we want to "work" for this idea?
Part of me says, "yes. it's important."
Part of me says, "nah. just keep twittering."
;~)
