The bigger question would be why would we still be talking about it?

Lets say a friend holds a gun to your head, pulls the trigger, and the gun misfires.

They say "well anyway"

You say "hey motherf***** you just tried to kill me"

They say "why are you still talking about it"

That's why

For thousands of years, Europeans would bake in the hot sun cutting wood so they wouldnt freeze to death.

Have to ration food even when there's an over abundance. Unsure how long the winter will be.

Got to build the shelter strong to prevent the winter from blowing it over. Don't want to die from exposure.

The northern Europeans couldn't walk a little north or south to avoid the winter, the European had to plan for it.

10 years ago I was in a trailer park attending a bbq/housewarming party.

I had one broken leg propped up in a fold out chair when we heard the dog attack start down the street.

I got up and started crunching towards the fight. I was told to stay out of it due to my injury. Plenty of other men there that would handle it they said. I complied until a woman got attacked trying to get the pit off her dog.

I saw red.

That scene ended with the owner of the pit begging me not to finish her dog off.

I don't believe I would have complied if the pit was attacking a kid...

Ah! Learn something new everyday. I was going to say don't get Goodyear, didn't realize they made Kelly's as well.

Got so many flats, I kept a plug kit and an air compressor on that truck

"Initially we were intubating fairly quickly on these patients as they began to have more respiratory distress," said Robert Hart, the hospital system's chief medical officer. "Over time what we learned is trying not to do that."

Kinda blows holes in your "we only did it as a last resort" assertion, now doesn't it?

I have a lunch to attend, have a good one.

It's a restrictive disease, if you put them on positive pressure ventilation it can be counterintuitive.

Thats my point...

A classmate and friend of mine in his late 30's got put on a vent early because he had asthma.

They took him off it when his wife decided to pull the plug and let him die.

He then made a full recovery.

Huh, guess I learn something new everyday.

As to why, where I grew up we had 1 tv with 3 channels. We weren't close to anywhere.

We would see the sky turning black, turn on the TV/radio, not a word mentioned about it. Storm would roll through and the sky would clear before we would hear- seek shelter from this dangerous storm!

The old timers that told me about heat lightning were the same ones telling me when to start looking for arrowheads when plowing fields.

Figured they knew everything.

Yesterday my dad started talking trash about Trump. Him and my mom watch CNN all day since he retired.

I felt bad when I asked him to name one good thing the Biden Administration has done for the American people in the last 3 years...

I've got a couple up the road that are approaching the end of life.. The husband won't make it through this year.

His wife has been mowing the yard and trying to take care of their pool and struggling mightily.

I drove by yesterday and saw their zero turn sitting out in the middle of their 5 acre lot. I stopped to take a look and realized she had a broken belt. I went to town, got a new one and put it on without her realizing it.

I drove the mower back up to the house where she came out with tears in her eyes. While fighting them back, she asked what she owed me. No charge was my response.

She latched on to me and started bawling, telling me she couldn't do it anymore and they were moving to assisted living. She couldn't have been more grateful for that small neighborly gesture.

It only took me an hour and less than 50 bucks to make her day.

If you can help someone in need in your community, the little bit of time and money is absolutely worth the payoff.

Have a good weekend.
