Have a safe weekend my friend. LPI

Here's looking at you

Here we are once again the beginning of the summer season!!! Shades of long summer days, suntans, camping, and lots of other outdoor activities. This years holiday is already being suppressed by rising cost of fuel, foods, and everything else except opinions, (they are still free)!!!

 

Remember that there is all kinds of fun, some you don't have to go far to find. Memorial day is full of (fallen hero's), as well as veteran based activities in any town USA. I'm sure some of you are saying, what kind of freak is this guy? Try something new this time close to home!!! Some of us will get drunk and crazy, what does it matter where you do it, most of us won't know the difference by midnight! Find someone with a pool, have a pig roast, keg party. Fun is Fun, no matter where you are!

 

Just do this freak a big favor and stop for just a minute and say a thank you to the lost souls who did what they did, so you could be all depressed because you can't go to the beach!!! Find that Christmas spirit we all seem to have where we are almost nice to each other. Shake a soldier's hand, tell a disabled veteran, as well as any veteran how much their sacrifice means to us. For god's sake folks it is only one day!!!! Be nice for a few hours! It is a start, we are standing on the edge of a time when things will be very different for Americans. Food shortages, heating and cooling costs we might have to choose to eat Ramen noodles (like college kids) to buy fuel?

 

Maybe we should start treating these great American holidays like some family reunion, where you realize that there are people there who you might never see again! Have fun!!!! Even if it hurts! Happy Memorial day, and be safe!!!
