...Time...

Been thinking a lot about it lately and making some peace with it.  I love this post, because it makes me feel not-so-lonesome about it.  And encouraged.






And I happened across this show on the way home the other evening.  So great....





Life!

The "Environment"

I'm fuming a little because someone I don't know (and have never met) is "calling me out" in the comment section on my friend's Wall on facebook.  I responded to something my friend said, and this person is, well...calling me a liar.

Sigh.

I keep hearing about "the current political environment", how it's hostile, how it's rude, uncivil, etc.  But can I say (without someone calling me out? just for a little bit?) that I don't think it's the political environment.  I think it's the environment, period.

A week before Christmas, I had an angry tailgater follow me home.  I was scared.  No one was at my house, it was late enough that I wasn't sure I wanted to call my neighbor for help, so I pulled into another neighborhood.  You know.  I didn't want to lead this guy to my house.

And it was fifteen degrees, and it was dark, and my phone was about to die (unusually).  I huddled, shivering, in some stranger's driveway waiting for some other stranger to drive away.

And it's not the first time I've been harassed by road-ragers.  *I drive the speed limit.*

So, can I vent and ask:  What in the world is wrong with people?!  Who does that?!

Please and thank you.  Yes, ma'am.  After you.  Can I give you a hand?

Or, "What can I do to put you in your place, which is below me, (naturally)"?


I tell you...RECLUSE.  That's my future.  Lots of dogs.
