Retired after 24 years in the Navy.
For the last 10 years I have been trying to learn and adapt to how the Civilian world operates.... it's a joke.
It's hard to find folks that actually work together and take care of one another out here. Everyone is out for themselves pretty much.
I clearly understand why things are in such chaos and the economy is so bad.
Folks need to learn the meaning of selflessness and cooperation.
That is my new career.
I think I will be casting a lot more Flies these days. Won't have to deal with too many out-of-control city flatlander folks, if any at all, where I go and learn the meaning of life from the Wild Brown, Brook, Golden and L-Cutthroat Trout.
John Gierach has had it right all along....
PS: Ya'll looking for someone to build yur Dream House the right quality way?
Go no further....
Greg Enright is yur man. Lives right up the street from me and I watched him build his hooche from foundation to pounding the very last shingle on the roof. The guy is Top Notch! It'll be done with a TLC the likes no one else can give ya.
He is one of the few "Civ's" I have had the honor to meet out here, that has his head and heart in the right place.
