smile Happy Independence Day!  Take a moment and think of how lucky we are to live here in the US. New

Today, I sit in air conditioned home, groceries in the refridgerator, cell phone, computer, running water, electricity, getting ready to "get paid" *holiday pay* to go and paddle a river.

I am in good health, my children are well cared for, I have 2 kayaks, a good, dependable car, I can go anywhere I want, so long as I have the money.

I feel safe in my little niche of the world.



So many people complain about the state of the nation and man, stop and think about how good you have it.

I see boats on the water, motor boats on the lake, 4wheelers in the woods and it seems like EVERYBODY, even the poor, fishing off the riverbank are recreating and having a good time.


We are lucky to live in the US.  
Thanks to all the past and present vetrans!
