Wallpaper

We’re Lucky

memorial daycancunIf you live in the United States then hug somebody, because you’ve got a lot to be thankful for. It doesn’t take much common sense or too many brain cells to see that this country is a big amusement park where even the poor people are fat and have cellphones! You can’t make this stuff up.

Memorial Day was this week and provided yet another reminder of how fortunate we are to live in a country this great and free. The things we complain about (gas prices, spotty cellphone coverage, slow computers) are - relatively - totally insignificant. I wonder how many people are being tortured around the world as you read this? Oops… sorry… I forgot we don’t trouble ourselves with such negative thoughts… after all, those are other people’s problems, not ours.

So here are a couple good wallpaper reminders to myself of how good I have it. The one on the left is a great Memorial Day wallpaper compliments of the US Air Force. The one in the right is compliments of yours truly and is the view of the beach from our Cancun resort hotel room we stayed in recently.

When your fortune improves, the columns on your house appear crooked.
