Not a day goes by that I don't consider myself lucky that I have a roof over my head and food to eat. I grew up simple in Tenn. I could work at a gas station and be happy. I'm a simple man, with simple desires. That might make me an idiot in some people's estimation, a "fly over" person, a rube, but I'm happy, my wife is happy, I feel blessed to live in this country, in this time.

Amen to that. In the early nineties we had a devastating recession. I couldn’t find a job at all for weeks, months at a time.
Benefits? Vacation? Ha!
