Too Busy

Fall is here. Students have attacked Auburn streets like tourist to Disney World. Traffic is horrible and yet people are excited about it. The town seems to swell and grow to accomidate the young. Perhaps that is a good thing, but I am afraid, it has some drawbacks. This town never grows old. Every fall we get a youth booster shot and we feel that we are doing good. This is wonderful. Things are great. I guess this occurs other places too. I am sure when a baby is born or a wedding occurs but those are never on a pattern or schedule. Perhaps we are too busy with all the newcomers to notice those who never left. Our society has changed, there are more older singles and here in Auburn they have no place to call their own. Our town has seen an influx of retirees. They have homes but they are secluded and hardly interact with the town at large. Are we supping the fountain of youth, but the only change is outward. Are we dying inside but look youth and vibrant on the inside? I don't know...I just don't know.
