Taking it easy

 

Do you want advice...?

Nothing specific, perhaps some insight of yours that you consider unique, some idea that you haven't seen anyone else express.  At this point in time I think I can find the answer to almost anything, except the reason why people are so stupid these days.  If I go any further on this topic I'll just make myself goofy so I'm stopping and will continue to ponder the view from the sidelines.

But you never know what you'll find while you're looking for something else, like this quote from John Adams, one of those Founding Fathers folks are always talking about.


"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."

Eerily prescient, no?

A while back there was a story about a fat snapping turtle in the Chicago River and lately there's news about a fat beaver, also in the Chicago River.  I'm not saying there is something about living in Chicago that enhances bodily girth but I recently saw a bathroom scale in my local CVS that had a maximum weight of 660 pounds.  Yikes!
