But people do care and are trying to help. I wonder if it isn't squeaky wheel syndrome. Maybe NJ is too self sufficient to get their share of guv'mint grease. I for one applaud folks up there showing the grit and gumption to get themselves back to normal whether anyone pitches in or not. <br /><br />Hang in there. You're bound to have some stories!Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628269009060185397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860341349702823046.post-36513392623815342012-11-20T08:58:06.283-05:002012-11-20T08:58:06.283-05:00On point 2 I agree about not always agreeing with ...On point 2 I agree about not always agreeing with his politics but I do think his loose cannon nature and tendency to lose his temper are generally signs of an honest man. Polished control is generally practiced by people you better be wary of. He seems tough and has a sense of humor. Not bad things these days.Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628269009060185397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860341349702823046.post-12714875381827470282012-11-20T08:48:32.620-05:002012-11-20T08:48:32.620-05:00To your first point I would add, "excuse me.&...To your first point I would add, "excuse me." I am so tired of encountering people in any setting that don't seem to know basic manners. Not that anyone needs to beg my pardon but it is just useful in interaction. Instead of avoiding eye contact and scooting in front, or if too slow for that, sighing your exasperation at finding someone between you and your goal, just look up and acknowledge another person is in your sphere. Then open your mouth and say, "excuse me." If it's me I'll nod and say, "After you." <br /><br />Didn't think my thought would go all diatribe there but as Steve Martin would say, "Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me!"Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628269009060185397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6860341349702823046.post-58653493756323902082012-11-08T12:53:57.599-05:002012-11-08T12:53:57.599-05:00Random thoughts that are not so random as they are...Random thoughts that are not so random as they are sort of the things that everyone thinks much of the time. :) Great post as usual!Joenoreply@blogger.com
