Simple Explanation

If only we could all get back to making things a lot simpler.

All to often we see things that happen around us that are complicated. Hurricane Fay lands on Florida a bazillion times. We have a complicated mess in Iraq that only our president can understand why we're there in the first place. We have an election coming up where both candidates are either out of touch with mainstream Americans like you and me, or too caught up with florid language that sounds impressive yet lacks substance or proof of experience. We have an enabling welfare system that encourages people to NOT work. And we have Donald Trump that sports a hairdo that defies all laws of gravity and taste, yet at the same time has more money than the State of Montana that should allow him to get a good haircut and a decent, non-Costas dye-job.

My niece Becca inspired me to write this short entry into the blogosphere that really put things into perspective for me today, and illustrates how things should be less complicated.

She said, "you know, Uncle Dave, Halloween is only two and a half pages away."

I had to think a second about it.

My response: "Yep, it sure is."
