"Here lies Ozymandias, King of Kings!"

Life is fleeting 'n too soon over so we must make the most of what we have when we have it. Don't sweat the small stuff 'n ev'rything is small stuff.....The value of a Liberal Arts education is learning how to rationalize lifes disappointments.....
Sonuvagun! It’s Friday again ‘n so long as we keep having Fridays, God’s in His heaven ‘n all’s right with the world.....or so I’ve heard stated.
The sun is shining, temp is rising (inta the 60’s, I’m told) so I’ll get in my swim later t’day....I like it when the sun hits at least a little of the pool....T’day is a ‘cardio’ day which means I have t’spend time upstairs in the gym.... stationary bike, ellipitical thingy, ‘n maybe the watchamacallit...the treadmill.....Senior moment, I guess..just cudn’t think of the name of the darn thing.....
Too bad life doesn’t come with do-overs....it’s a lot more fun when you’re young enuff that you don’t need to exercise.....when you c’n run or swim just for the heck of it....ah well, I ‘member growing up ‘n swimming in ‘The River’.....(we had the hills ‘n the river).....Dave told in his blog about visiting Varanisi in India ‘n the River Ganges...
it’s considered a ‘holy’ river in India ‘n people go there (when they c’n afford it) to burn their dead ‘n dump the ashes so they c’n go to Nirvana...’cept, the thing is.... y’see.....children, pregnant women, holy men ‘n animals are considered ‘pure’ enuff that they don’t have t’be burned in order to get into Nirvana so their bodies get dumped whole into the ‘holy’ river....along with all the sewage from one of the oldest cities on the Indian sub-continent...anyways...there was a show on one of the myriad channels that teevee affords us t’day that showed a group traveling around the world a’la Dave except they get t’do it with money ‘n more comfort...
They showed on film what Dave described in his blog...the body of a baby floating in the river, a dead cow floating, people bathing, swimming, drinking ‘n playing in the river......
Anyways....back in my way back when days, we (the denizens of Beattyville) played ‘n fished in the Ohio River which was also used as a sewer by every community that was built on or near the river or any creeks that flowed into it....(YUCK!...sensibilities have changed over the years) Cleaning up the environment has got t’be a good thing.....there’s just too darn many people in this world t’day to go on fouling our own nest any longer.....
The economy is a big problem ‘n Obama is not going t’be able to fix it...McCain wouldn’t have been able to fix it either...as a matter of fact, it’s a problem that is so big that it’s unfixable.....but, not to panic....everyone has problems that are too big for them to fix...the only thing y’can do is fix the problems that you can ‘n let providence take care of the rest....
