In the end
So this is where the story begins...my dad has figured out some website that he can pirate one of the news stations from. He watches it on his computer almost every night.
Tonight mom calls my wife and quickly asks if I'm there and to send me to her house immediately, it's an emergency. So with no explanation what to prepare for I think what the do you need in an emergency? i grab my gun and ride my bike up there all quick like because that's the best I can think of. Mom comes out on the porch to meet me. Se's crying and trying to explain to me about how North Korea has launched nuclear missiles at Los Angeles and they are supposed to hit in an hour and a half and they said to seek shelter and not run because if you're not in shelter you will die and she's upset and worried. So I come back home where my wife is dying to know what was so urgent. So i told her what mom informed me of, but told her not to say anything to anyone yet because, being the super skeptic that I am, I don't know if this is a fact yet. My wife argues with me and tells three people and calls our daughter to tell her she loves her (we live very far from Los Angeles). Then she just lays in the bed and cries. Mom calls my brother in Erie, he calls his friend and his friend packs all his worldly possessions in his jeep and they are getting ready to come to mom's for the apocalypse that's about to ensue. I get on the computer and i'm like there's nothing at all on here about it. It's gotta be a hoax. I tell mom i think she's nuts, so her and dad call my uncle who was also watching the same news channel. He saw nothing of the sort. Turns out it was just a hack on the pirate site dad was watching the news on! At least now I know how I will react if and when something like this does occur. The saddest part for me though, was as I was going home I thought "this sucks I may die married to a woman I can't stand. I wish I could have loved someone before I died." So that's it's friends. In a death crisis scenario that's the only regret I have. Having never reciprocated love truly with someone.
All worth while
Well, I have no one to tell this story to...so I will blog it. When we have a new patient at my store my employees and I will send a personally signed thank-you card. A few weeks ago I had a new patient that was a young child needing an antibiotic. So as usual we sent a thank you card. Well she LOVED it. It was the sweetest thing. He mother said she took the card with her to school to show her friends and her class, then she insisted she buy a card for us and send to us. So today I got a card from one of my patients. It was such a sweet thing, it's these little moments in life that make all the bullshit I endure every day. The sincere heart of a child makes me smile like nothing else.
"Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
"Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

Limited Opinion
Now that's a very interesting notion. Do you think maybe this is what we are currently experiencing in politics? NAHHHHH!!
Social (Ignorance) Media
Ya know what gets me? How stupid people can be, that's what. Below is a picture that is circulating on social media and there's all these tools commenting on how brave and amazing this man is and how we don't have the worth ethic and fortitude of people like this and on and on...it's a freaking fake picture. I have never seen this picture before but I called bullshit at first glance. That's not to say we don't lack fortitude or work ethic these days, but in addition to lacking those things we also are lacking a damned brain. The frustrating part it the comments go on for miles and it takes forever for someone to say "That's photo shopped". I hope to goodness that we begin to get smarter as a culture, but so far, it's proving to be that Idiocracy is the first comedy to become a documentary.
So here's the actual picture. It's still respectable, and maybe more so because it doesn't scream FAKE when you look at it. I wish people could leave well enough alone and appreciate history and culture for what it factually is.
