Today I was talking to a Rumanian who lives in the UK. She said that her parents (at 75) still have to work on the land on a daily basis and their toilet is at the end of the garden (out-house). When she takes her children on holiday, they hate the living conditions and are unable to talk about it.

In the 1982-3 African famines, I had the task to defend the food convoys against the local mafia gangs. Seeing the devastation caused by that is a life changing event.

We are privileged beyond comprehension.

Sorry, back to some light entertainment, someone?

Bill got the shaft

Not in the least. They were married for 27 years and had no pre-nup. They are both still wealthy beyond belief and Melinda has been giving away BILLIONS to some very worthy causes in the last few years.

I visited a Lakota friend who lives on Pine Ridge Rez in Shannon County, SD, which was at that time the poorest place in America. Literally Third World. He lived in an old trailer without running water or electricity, heated with wood, and used an outhouse made of plywood. Imagine that, having to go to a plywood outhouse in -40 in snowy winter. Many such outhouses have a rope running from the potty to the house, so that people can grab it and use it as a guide to get them there and back in heavy winter snows and blizzards. It's easy to wander off and freeze to death. But when I was visiting it was early summer, and my friend had taken the door off the outhouse. So I sat there in "poverty" ---- looking out over a majestic scene, the Badlands in all their colorful splendor stretching out before me for hundreds of miles and not a single soul, power line or roadway in sight.

Perspective - as underrated as Contentment!

You do know what the word "battery" means, right?
