“You go up to a man, and you say, “How are things going, Joe?” and he says, “Oh fine, fine… couldn’t be better.” And you look into his eyes, and you see things really couldn’t be much worse. When you get right down to it, everybody’s having a perfectly lousy time of it, and I mean everybody. And the hell of it is, nothing seems to help much.”
- Kurt Vonnegut
I saw this at the Running 'Cause I Can't Fly2 blog - there's a link in the sidebar. This is one of my daily haunts. He puts up a good variety of financial and political things so you can see what's really happening here in this country and other countries that we're involved with. I don't know when Vonnegut made the above quote, but I'm sure it applies equally to what's happening currently.
According to the itinerary, today Cuzzin Ricky and I should be riding on the Grand Canyon Railway trip and the Motorcoach Freedom Rim Tour. Since I couldn't figure out how to post using my phone, this one is prerecorded. So, I'm going out on a limb and say we're not having a perfectly lousy time of it. There'll be an after-action report coming later.

I hope the train doesn't have to slam the brakes on real hard causing everyone in the dining car to git covered in chili dogs, it was chili dogs night and everybody had their good shirts and blouses on.
a great big fat lady's fancy wig fell into the steam tray of chili...
some small kids starting a food fight laughing until one got git in the open mouth with a hot dog and he turned red started scream crying. good times.
