Talking on the phone to customer service will be looked on in the future as one of the low points in our age. The way we look back on cities that had open sewers.

Sound of Silence

I know I'm getting down to writing about twice a month and normally some sort of vague, cryptic response to something I read elsewhere. But I am gone for the next 9 days for filming of the TV show I'm going to be on.

So no texts, no FB, no email, no IG, no nothing electronic at all. Get back at ya the 15th!

Balance

There is supposed to be inequality in life. There has to be winners and losers. Rich and poor. Fat and skinny. Sick and healthy. Smart and dumb.

Without both there is no balance. So if you really want things to be even, embrace that they then can't all be the same.

Things I want to accomplish before waking up Monday morning:
-get my new perscription
-detail strip and clean pistol
-get oil change in truck
-drive truck through car wash
-load 1k of 9mm practice rounds
-send out my emails for church stuff
-make shooting boxes for home practice
-mail off packages to kids
-deal with auto pay issues from debit card fraud cancellation
-shoot a match
-go on a motorcycle ride
-mow yard

Sometimes I hate this world soo much if I had a doomsday device I would push the button instantly.

Freedom and Democracy

One of the definitions I like for determining if you live in a free democracy is if you have the freedoms to worship how you please openly, make fun of the government and peacefully protest what you feel is unjust behavior.

I think living in the US provides you with these freedoms. I don't think, I know.

So if Mr NFL QB wants to sit through the national anthem it isn't a sign of what's wrong with the US it's a measure of what's right. A place less free wouldn't tolerate that kind of behavior. Can you imagine a Soviet era athlete doing this? Or a Chinese one today?

While I don't agree with his sentiment, I defend a person's right to lawfully and peacefully express themselves because I know it shows we still have more freedom than most.

Careful careful

Sometimes I wonder what the next tragedy in my life will be. And how soon will it be appearing.

And then wonder what's wrong that it hasn't happened.
