    Bad Choices

    Bad choices limit future options: on the chessboard; for each of us individually and for our families;
    for the villages or towns or cities and countries in which we live. Yes? Maybe? No? Your thoughts.

    Yes, I hate it when people use their car horns indiscriminately. Loud music? I don't mind much, as long as it is a nice tune (no heavy metal for example), but when there are annoying, "unnatural" noises, I feel that both the person creating it made a bad decision as well as me, for not running away from it.

    It reminds me of a time when I was walking by a construction site. Do not get me wrong. I have nothing but respect for hard working people in fields, unlike mine, where hands get dirty and sweat is abundant. But, is there really a need to use the drill all the damn day? I mean, they could take a break or, even smarter, I could pick the next bus stop instead of this one.

    Overall, I see where you're coming from, b

    I never made a bad choice. Granted, some of them could have been better, but at the time I made
    them, based on what I knew then, my choices were the best available. Hindsight arrives too late.

    I may have thought on some occasions that my decisions were the best possible or the only possible, but today I'm not sure I gave them enough consideration.

    I used to have a coworker named Lyle. Lyle was a good old boy, seemed like a real nieve hick. Well one day Lyle and Bernie his buddy took off for lunch in Bernie's 75 Road Runner. Foghat was blasting on the 8 track whilst marijuana smoke and empty beer cans flew out the window. Back then we thought nothing of it. In fact it was a bonus to catch a ride home with the boys. 😕
    Fun times.

    It's fine, thank you. The weather here now is as hot and dry as it was in Italy in June. I won't be doing any more travelling this summer and I'll take the days as they come - grandchildren, friends, reading. I hope you have a great summer too.

    So far, so good. Haven't had a day over 90* yet. Knock wood.

    (*That's temp, not golf. The next time I play golf will be the first time.)

    🙂 You need to start early to be good at golf.

    I suppose you still read a lot...?
