With the deployment of so many National Guard units from southern states (Texas, Missouri, etc.) to urban areas outside those states, one has to wonder what will happen when inevitable Fall season natural disasters occur in those states. Hurricane season has just arrived, and the changing weather from summer to fall will lead to more tornadoes (not to mention wild fires).
Should the State get involved in the whole downtown Springfield Wyndham mess? And see if CDB and/or Architect of the Capitol could perform the same magic they’re doing on the old Armory to try to salvage the Wyndham? With a plan of renovating the building for a mix of state offices, conference rooms, apartments (with high-level state officials and employees e.g., GA members or agency directors getting first dibs on them), and the rest for a smaller-scale hotel geared toward conference attendee settings.

“Joy”
Who’s gonna save you from
Yourself
Who’s gonna save you from
Yourself
It’s a long road to go with a heavy load
Some pick flowers
Some pick stones
I promised myself when I got home
I ain’t goin’ where no darkness grows
They come to me in my dark hour
Well you must succeed in beating them
With a great bodacious power
Joy’s gonna save you from
Joy’s gonna save you from
Yourself
Who’s gonna take you off
Your shelf
Who’s gonna take you off
Your shelf
And let that light within you shine
Lantern soul gonna glow so bright
No cloud allowed up in yer sky
New moon’s gone, come out tonight
I tell you this is not your fate
Well you’ve only just a moment
And you haven’t long to wait
Joy’s gonna save you from
Joy’s gonna save you from
Yourself
Who’s gonna show you home
This time
Who’s gonna show you home
This time
There’s a brightness within you
Let it shine out in the blue
Let is guide you home tonight
May you remain within the light
Joy’s gonna save you from
Joy’s gonna save you from
Hey!
Joy’s gonna save you from
Yourself
Joy’s gonna save you from
Yourself
