Do you?
Not just in the natural world either, but in the world that each of us walk through. Like a magnet with its pull, the moth being sucked to the flame, some people just can't help finding trouble. What's this all about anyway. We're bombarded with it from the celebrity world. Lohan, Cyrus, Bieber just can't seem to stop 'stepping in it'. That privileged lot. No tears shed for them here. My eyebrows won't rise much if one or all end up on a gurney soon. Closer to home, it can be sadder. A serial OUI driver just got a pretty stiff sentence: 7 years. Just twenty days after finishing up her latest intensive substance-abuse treatment program, you guessed it. She was back at it.
It's a killing pattern on our roads.
How do we solve this?
These repeat offenders are the worst problem on our highways.
Period.
It's not a pretty pattern.
You guys follow all that?? This is what I live with!
ReplyDeleteGood thing he's so cute!!
Ha ha. You have a tough life Elenka! I also enjoy complaining about everything every now and then, it helps cleaning the system!
ReplyDeletePeople like that make it scary to drive anywhere.
ReplyDeletewise words.
ReplyDeleteVery sad, even in the case the rich & famous...but there are people who do make it out of addiction from various walks of life...
ReplyDeleteIt is what happens to the ordinary people that gets to me - not the rich and famous. People you know and people you see. It's a disease and should perhaps be treated as such.
ReplyDeleteThere is no solving it based on our present attitude to addiction. But anyway, what I do is drive very very defensibly.
ReplyDeleteWe've got enough problems where I live with people who drive crazy who are stone sober. So what's all that about Birdman? :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely shot!
ReplyDeleteThis side of the border we have to deal with the embarrassment of a mayor in our largest city who never learns from his own mistakes, humiliates the country repeatedly, and refuses to leave public life. Sooner or later he'll end up on a gurney.
. . . but your green pattern above, the patterns of nature: so much more pleasant to behold than the clunky behavioral patterns of humans, mm?
ReplyDeleteThe pattern reminds me of a quilt.

ReplyDeleteI can't agree more, you are absolutely right!
ReplyDeletePatterns often become entrenched behaviors, often difficult to break.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing you got Elenka first or I would head up there myself to drag her back down here! Funny lady. Nice lady.
ReplyDeleteNow! First, I love host. I use it extensively in many different varieties, because you plant it once and it stays exactly where you planted it, except that it fills out nicely.
And those lowlifes? You can record my "ditto."
