Cost of Livin'

ost
My nephew turned me on to this song. I think it speaks volumes about what is going on in the "Real World".  All this talk in D.C. isn't addressing the real problems that face so may folks these days. I don't have the answers... only questions....

I've had to take a little "down" time. I'll be back in a day or two, I promise. It's probably the heat, which I was all ready to fuss about....  Till then I found this on my FaceBook page. 

I was going to complain about how hot it is, then I realized that: 1.) It isn't 109 degrees; 2.) I'm not 5,700 miles from home; 3.) I'm not dressed in a full BDU'S and helmet and carrying 70+ lbs.; and. 4.) There is very little chance that anyone will shoot at me or that I might drive over a bomb in the road today! 
Thanks to all who serve. 
I may not agree with the war  but I support our veterans.

  1. Enjoy your down time, Sci. Maybe it's the heat and maybe it's all the hot air blowing around DC!

  7. Perspective. We always think we have it so tough until we meet a person who REALLY has it bad
