Morning thought

Last week I was being blown all over and freezing (San Diego style) my ass of. Yesterday we where sailing in shorts and tee shirts again. On the downwind slide it was "hot". Even though San Diego is out of control expensive, it is worth it. And as we are learning the ways to get around all those San Diego cost it's working out even better.

It's amazing to see the change that is taking place here. A year or two ago you wouldn't or couldn't be seen in a car that was over 5 years old. The "auto spa's" where brimming with fresh new cars with owners sipping lattes. I'm seeing a really neat trend, older cars some even with scratches and dents. I mean really what do you need? It used to drive me up the freakin wall to see some folks parading around like they wear some kind of Shiek ala Stucco Palace. When ya knew damn well they where just maxed on credit cards and home equity loans.

I think this little resection thing is just what the doctor ordered. Get us back to whats important. It's not the flash of the past it's going out and enjoying some fresh air (free) some gentle breeze (free) some beautiful views (free) some good friend ship's (also free) and a few cold beers (huh well)

I'm not saying everyone needs to live in a little boat and ride a beater bike. Hey if going fast is your thing score a race car If climbing rocks in Zimbabwe is it by all means, go for it. Watching the telly sipping a latte is your gig by god go for it !! But do it cause that's what gives you wood and keeps you happy while on this planet ride. Don't do it for the flash or cause the Jones do it. And if at all possible stay out from under the thumbs of the banks and politicians. Because they will take your freedom. And we all know, no freedom = no wood.

Now go out there and do what makes you smile.
