Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

Old Fools Journal: My Favorite Graffiti

Some graffiti is artistic, some is funny and some is just vandalism but this is profound. A reminder from someone who put it where we would see it.
I try to keep that in my mind at all times and I have been pretty successful over the years and as life wears on it gets easier to remember that things are just things.

I wish to be the change and I am trying
but even though I don't feel so much like a fish out of water here most of the time I do feel like the "Elephant In A Tree"

Today was the weekly "run the car day" to keep that 22 year old jalopy alive so I did errands. Good day for it as it never got above 48* F with a cold north wind. It is currently 46* F and raining. Depressing and the roof on my hovel leaks. I keep reminding myself that it is better than the boat as the boat leaked from the top and the bottom.

Actions are louder than words, my friend. People you don't know see you and they want to do stuff the way you do. You are the change!
