Some Days are Grand, Some are Bad

Another life in the day....  I know exactly how this feels, and sometimes I get to thinking along these lines in broader scope. The general uduglighet of the human species can really get you down. In fact... it can get downright depressing looking at all the self destructive insistance to wallow around in our own dung. If it wasnt for the fact that at least I am nearly close to perfect..... I think I just pack it all in and move to Centari 5... at least there the humanoids have cool hair styles :)

Cheers

And three of these were in gated VERY affluent communities. BIG $$ homes, two new SUVs in driveway, zillions of $s of sports equipment falling out of the garage, all new furniture, monster home theatre, marble kitchen counters, fancy home office, top-notch home gym ............. and a $200 spinet for the kids to learn piano on.
