🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 Thought for the Day

[It Takes Eleven]

What is life if it is not sometimes free of the shackles called civilization? For only under the vast blue vault of open sky can a man come to know himself and the true values of his association with other forms of life. It is not in artificial mores and rules that life is really lived, but in following the laws of nature.

- Andy Russell, Trails of a Wilderness Wanderer

It's not a "low trust"society now. There's as much trust as there's ever been. Maybe more. It's just not trust in other people. It's trust in systems, apps, algorithms, Alexa, Siri, Grok. In fact, I think we trust more than we ever did. To a fault. We just don't trust each other. - Walter Kirn

Drunkards, insubordinates, thieves, and fighters, the Sailors of the United States never set foot ashore without creating a riot. They are rather pirates than Sailors of a civilized nation.

When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived! But, and that’s a big question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?

I wish these two would kiss and make up. I bet there's one more spark of lunacy left in the surviving members.

Real friends are those who, when you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel like that you've done a permanent job.

Woke up my dogs laughing at this one. Damn.

I had a great thought for the day...and you killed it, and me. Thanks.

I enjoyed my 72nd birthday last June and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

You did grow up. "I wonder" is both a curse and a blessing.

Life is like a camera:
Focus on what is important,
Capture the good times,
Develop from the negatives
If things don't work out...Take Another Shot!

I saw this in a store somewhere but do not remember where.

My dad....
enjoy good times
Endure hard times

Everyone has a few rainy days

And this is 100%

"A man has to be what he is, Joey. Can't break the mold. I tried, and it didn't work for me. Joey, there's no living with the killing. There's no going back from one. Right and wrong is a brand. A brand sticks. There's no going back."
