Life's Been Weird to Me So Far

[El Veto-Voter]

I have lived an interesting life, discussed philosophy and politics with thousands of people, studied history and political science, kayaked wild rivers, climbed steep cliffs, wrecked cars, and fought my share of fights. I have observed sunsets and meteor showers and the birth of kittens, and found it all to be a fantastic journey.

Currently I live in the Sonoran Desert, where it's often "110 in the shade, but there ain't no shade..." I work outside in that weather almost every day. I can take the heat because deep down inside I know I'm cool.

I have learned to fix lots of things. One thing that doesn't seem to be fixable is government. But, it's interesting to watch the circus and laugh at the clowns.

Hahahaha, that's cute. I came back from Vietnam in July, very hot. Wore a long sleeve shirt, had a cardigan over my arm, carrying my seabag, and watched people wiping profuse sweat off their brows. I must have been cool down deep too.

Life's been good to me so far

Better knock on wood.

Better knock on wood.

I pray, daily.

I pray, daily.

Living well is the best revenge.

Life is what you make it... attitude is everything!

Damn, there is nothing in the US approaching a hot day in Vietnam.

The day I left it was 115, humidity 99%.

That must have been Christmas. Ok, maybe not, but it felt like it was that hot in 1966.

Thick skin helps too.

Mud and Blood

I blotted all that out of my memory, except in a one-dimensional sense. I remember getting heat stroke and being medevacked, but I don't remember the heat.

Huh??? How could you not remember the heat, except for getting accustomed to it eventually. But that didn't erase my first introduction to it.
