I have a lot of fun being single. I not sure I would be happier married. I have seen married people and many seem unhappy or pretend to be happy. But if your going to have kids, you better be married for the kids sake.
Does increasing world tensions include Road Rage? Maybe that North Korean dictator was cut off on the freeway and now is building nuclear warhead missiles.
When I was a kid, I tried to make rubber bones by putting bone in vinegar. The vinegar dissolves the Calcium out of bone and make them flexible. I wonder if anyone notice bone problems with excess vinegar consumption. I like pickled asparagus, pickles, peperoncini and lentils with vinegar in the soup.
My father was a POW in the USA during WWII. Worked in peanut farms and ketchup factories earning a dollar a day. Saved up and after the war had some money to go back home.
I have to admit that NK nuclear ambitions is basically a waste of time and money. I believe NK would do much better to build greenhouses and develop geo and hydro energy. If NK thinks they can start the nuclear holocaust of the world, well it would only be their own demise. I sure China does not like an unstable neighbor with nuclear ambitions.
The way things are going with the republicans, I suspect the country is going to go far left in next election. People are getting feed up with broken promises from the right and the left. Republicans do not seem to be able to work together as a unit. Maybe a government that takes over health insurance completely to control cost maybe the only solution.
I lost two cars to emissions test. One is still standing in the field out back. My handicap van recently failed emissions test, but after 650 dollars of mechanic services it is in compliance again. Cheaper than buying a new auto.
Many civilizations have come and gone due to overuse and loss of resources. I suspect the same will happen on a gobal level some day which will cause the human impact to be reduced. In the meantime, enjoy the goodtimes while they are here.
I saw two automobile accidents today. One pickup at an intersection was making a left hand turn and failed to yield to oncoming car. I saw this live as it happened. No one was hurt but the frontend corner was messed up. The other accident was a car that ran into the back of another pickup. The car suffered major frontend damage. I call this Thanksgiving Time Frenzy period. Everybody in a hurry to eat turky.
