It's looking like we are going to be forced to order at least a couple hundred of these signs.. possibly more.
Looking over the weekend news reviews I see
that maybe being kind of off grid at the camper may not be such a harsh way of life after all.
Yes I have to tote water to fill my tank every week and yes I must process firewood for our evening get together. And there is always the humming sound of the generator running when ones needs a phone recharged or (Heaven forbid) someone wants to use one of those new fangled coffee machines of something. But at least I don't have to put up with the violence and nonsense that goes on in todays world. Or so I thought was so until this weekend. At a sportsman's club in a neighboring county a non member was told to leave and returned later and shot and killed two people. How sad when the one place I have confidence in, being surrounded by like minded people, ends up being just another part of this wacky world. I truly struggle at times trying to understand people and their ways. What can be so wrong in a person's life to make him want to do such things? One has to know they are not going to get away with such a crime. What amount of anger can justify ruining ones life and ending someone else's life a few seconds of revenge?
This is only the tip of the iceberg. Shots fired in a hotel just across the river, one year old child raped just up the river.. prostitution ring busted just down the river, Drug busts in every direction.
It's never ending and getting more common everyday. How does one escape? How does one cope? Where does one sign up to be excluded from this madness?
I try my best to live in my own little world but it's hard. The outside world is closing in around me. I refuse to live in fear yet I question everyone around me when I'm out and I hate that feeling.
I do have a legal concealed carry permit and do carry occasionally but I refuse to live with an old west mentality. I don't want to have to defend myself but I also refuse to be a victim . I simply want that 'Hippy Love , peace kind of world that we talked about in the seventies. Fat chance 'eh ?
I guess I'm just having a down day today .. maybe the sun will come out and the birds will sing and all will be right again. (Hey I said maybe) Unless some crackhead tries to steal my rainbow. (maybe I'd better load another clip )
