Today

[boojum]

I remember a time when…

Profound knowledge, self discipline, courage, pride, enlightenment, inner peace, maturity, moral fortitude, kindness, honesty, understanding and decency were considered to be the qualities that made a person a good person.

I, like Dogman, miss the USA. And, that’s just the tip of the iceberg of the things I miss.

All the best,
Mike

They are still the properties of good people. They just do not seem to be as much observed. OTOH it used to snow more and it was uphill to school, both ways. Much of the quality of our lives depends on ourselves and what is within us and whom we choose to associate with.

I understand missing things. Pizza and chili dogs would be a great loss. I have lived abroad. I came home because it is home, warts and all.

Rain Drops Keep Fallin' on my Head ?

I still know it well.

All the best, 🙂

They Spear the Wounded

I guess I’m over sensitive
Not one to forget and forgive
What happened in the past will never stay there
People think it’s best to move on I hear
But I won’t go there

I look around and I’m astonished
What went wrong is clearly unvarnished
The world as I know it is no longer there
They say I should assimilate with the other side
But I won’t go there

Moonlight and madness ghastly it may be
Surrender my convictions, never, never me
What lies ahead for people of minorities?
We can only fear
The new breed spear the wounded
God help us would you please

All the best,
Mike

As before, I'll endeavor not to dwell on things I can't change, and to keep my eyes open for opportunities. Remember that some of "them" may be your family members, neighbors, and strangers who helped you in times of need.

Yes @Arnold Layne, I dislike their murders as well. I can only imagine how their families feel.

My thoughts and sympathies to the families 🕊️

Please sorry, I guess I misunderstood you. I thought you were using those murders to send a disgusting racist message.

This is another example of why we should just stick to what this board is about: photography. There's enough eye-gouging, ear-biting and hair-pulling over RF vs SLR with plenty to spare. ;o)

Not a problem. That’s ok. Mods can remove my posts if they wish.

I agree we should stick to photography. That’s a common bond we all share and should treasure and support.
