Quiet Desperation

 Part of being a successful Investigator is to know the truth. Facts beyond your comfort zone or liking. The death of a loved one is at best, the worst, I can imadgine. Having spent many years as a devotee of truth, no matter how painful, I would like to share this with you. It's short, useful and bittersweet.

"Owning", caring for, protecting, sharing, playing and traveling with...... even watching TV together as a companion, to a dog is... incredibly bittersweet. I've had 3 Goldens in my long life and many other breeds and not once have I been able to avoid the incredible pain of their passing or quiet the silent desperation within me that told me it must be this way. My only respite from this eventual, inevitable agony, is to deprive myself of their company. That's to big a price to pay. So I'll be grateful for the time I have with them and do my best to make their lives and mine as good as they can be. God loves us all. Best of luck and know there is another wonderful animal that desperately needs your caring.

Beautiful People

 I watched world championship cricket on WILLOW HD Ch 882. The NY Strykers defeated their opposition and next up is Bangladesh vs SriLanka. They are playing in a beautiful stadium in Abu Dhabi for WORLD titles. 

Anyway my point is, look at the people in the stands. Beautiful is totally inadequate to describe everything from their physical appearance to their incredible garb.

So with appearance and interests as a criteria, does anyone actually think the Western World is still competitive in quality of life, or are we as the East envisions us? A corrupt and fully compromised, failed society, run by very old old dishonest and perverted despots. I agree with the turban wearing, highly educated, highly cultured, well financed and diplomatically responsible part of the world that is about to throw us and our highly decorated military into the nearest landfill. To bad really. We had a chance for greatness and blew it.
