"'Tis lonesome away
From your kindred and all
Out in the hills
Where the wild dingos call
But there's nothing
So morbid, lonesome, or drear
Than to stand at the bar
Of a pub with no beer."
~Australian drinking song
The cornucopia of greed is over, and I've made almost all of my phone calls. There are still about seven people I have yet to reach, but there is time enough.
I rattled around in an empty house for most of the day, took a couple of naps, seasoned some cast iron skillets, and smoked like a tire fire. Life is a hoot, and I am not embarrassed by living it.
John Lennon said it best: 'And so this is Christmas.' Great song, and brilliant words, though 'Give Peace A Chance' may rival it.
Where am I going with this? I dunno, but I do know this:
"We hold these truths to be self evident, that we are granted by our Creator with certain unalienable rights..."
Amen.
I can't say it better.
Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years'.
And always,
Rage, rage,...
~Hob
