Anyone who has owned a pet knows that there is a "connection" between owner and animal that defies explanation. Animals seem to know good people and instinctively convey unconditional love.. Conversely if you are an assh--- the critter knows that too.
My spirits are lifted by the fact that the White House scottish terrier named Barney bit a liberal reporter at a white house photo shoot. Dogs know instinctively when people are insincere and the person getting finger puncture wounds was a liberal. Like I said, animals know. I will say that I hope the dog doesn't get any illness as a result of biting someone from the dark side.
I am optimistic that the new administration will bring about change. Change is good. Change is required in this fast moving world. I can't wait for whatever it was that we've been promised. What is it we were promised again?
On the bright side, there will be lots of bargains as retailers fight for you dollar. That means you will see your Christmas Holiday expenditures go further.
On the bright side, gasoline prices are down 40% from last year. Now you've got more discretionary dollars to spend on goods that are reduced.
As soon as we get done celebrating the election of an African-American to the Presidency, we surely will turn to the inevitable question of "now what Chief"?
I think we should take all our pets (dogs especially) and send them to Washington D.C. They should be allowed to enter the chambers of the House and Senate. Any elected Senators or Representatives that dogs don't bite can keep their jobs. Now there is something I could trust.
The lesson Grasshoppers is that everything in life keeps changing. With 6 billion people on this planet, the speed of change will keep accelerating. Your mission (you must chose to accept it) is to keep making quality decisions in this environment of certainty. Common sense always works.
Love,
