I like Jodie Foster’s quote from the movie “Contact” … “if there was no one out there but us, sure would be a waste of space.” … like to think God did not stop with us but kept going …
I once won a knock-down dragged out argument with my wife and had her on her knees due to my cunning wit and mastery of logical arguments … she said:....“Get out from under that bed, you gutless excuse of a fleabag.”
depends on family and friends … one friend had an outdoor shower next to hottub … no bathing suits allowed in pool and had to rinse before swimming because oils and clothing fibers clog up filters … works for me.
spend 5 to 6 years in college (units usually too heavy for 4 only) and end up with $60K in student loans for a $35K a year job … or go to trade school for $20K in loans for 3 years and get a $45K job as a plumber/mechanic/programmer … choices choices choices … or use the $20K your grandfather left you when you were born, which was now around $75K … graduate with no debt, while taking summers off to tour in the Orient with a singing group … my daughter has it real tough, let me tell you … ;-)
I wonder how the media would have gotten all the sentiment if they had shown a recent picture of TM with all his tattoos and not the pretty one when he was younger? If they had said “a high school drop-out and burglary suspect was killed by a Hispanic neighborhood watch member with a gun after attacking him in a mistaken altercation”, would any one have followed the story for longer than 10 minutes or so?
this may be a long walk if they’re the “forever stamps”
