Dead End
The Road to the Future?
Not to start the week off on a down note, but Monday's are like that. The current ship of fools down there in Washington D.C. are leading us all to ruin. I had a post in mind but the Chief said it better over at Plan of the Day you should check this out. Not a "feel good" post by any stretch of the imagination. But if you're paying attention to what's going on in the world, t'ain't much to feel good about right now.
That depends largely on where and what you look at, and how closely you do so. I believe our... yours, mine, our families, our friends... immediate environments are pretty much shiny side up with all four wheels on the pavement. There are macro problems, true, but it doesn't do much good to worry about things not in your immediate control.
You've got a point there. OTOH, if the macro goes straight to Hell, the micro is soon to follow. Being in a business that does bidness with the gubmint and having kids who work for the gubmint, lately some things haven't been all that shiny in the immediate environment.
Though we do have our health. Something to be said for that.
As an aside, I've been down many a road just like that our in the great state of Nevada, and usually there is something interesting hiding out there in the sagebrush. You just gotta be willing to head out into the unknown to find it!
