Today is Veterans Day ... I try to go out of my way and thank a Veteran when I see one.

But today ... I was at Perkins with family for lunch. Table next to me was a Veteran, he had a hat on and what shirt did he have on "Veterans before Illegals" ....

I'm sorry, but I went against what I typically would do and didn't say a word to this person. The arrogance, the hatred.

Again, I hate what Trump did to this country. I really do.

Don't know that this is true, but it tracks.

"This is the discovery of egolessness. It’s when all our usual schemes fall apart. Reaching our limit is like finding a doorway to sanity and the unconditional goodness of humanity, rather than meeting an obstacle or a punishment.”

Things I have realized this past year of the downsizing battle part 1.
* Nobody wants your stuff. Stop thinking what you have is an investment. Trust me, you can’t sell it for a great amount.
* George Carlin called it stuff. It is. Emotional attachment to inanimate things holds you back.
* Do you really want your relatives to have to deal with all this when you die? They will be mourning, give them a break.
* Don’t get offended if people don’t want your stuff, let go of your ego.

On the bright side, the rapists are all getting T-shirts printed up and proudly wearing them so now we know whom to not get on elevators with.

Still do.

Seen on Blue Sky, maybe it is true. I hope that it is true.
