ja and jc- kath and i used to go over to gallup once a month or so to visit her dad. he lived alone in a small house. he was retired but rarely went anywhere. spent most of his time watching TV and reading the newspaper. he was constantly in a state of either frustration or anger about what was going on (or at least what the news was telling him was going on). if he was still alive today i'm sure he would be pacing his house cursing bin laden right now. not much happens in gallup of any great international significance and he could have chosen to spend his days visiting with friends, going fishing, traveling around in the countryside, getting involved in interesting activities, or any of a thousand other choices. he never had even the smallest impact on any of the events or situations that came into his world through the tube or the paper, yet those things shook and soured his soul every day. he didn't even enjoy a trip to the grocery store or a restaurant because the only thing he had to talk about to the clerks or wait staff was the horrible news. he shared his angst and spread it around and soon everyone around him was just as frustrated and angry as he was about life. he was a good "bad example" to me of how our quality of life is so dependent on what we choose to think about. there are a lot of people like that. so many, in fact, that i just let them do the worrying for the world. i owe them a lot... my happiness. god bless them. -indebted to the angry worriers of the world

JA, It must be very difficult. Especially contending with the bugs who tend to eat most of the good stuff. This year the apples were much smaller than normal due to the summer conditions. I guess the heat and lack of rain took it's toll on them. Where in the south are you? I thought you lived in California (due to the Raiders and A's post) but perhaps you are now relocated. Are you West Coast South? Or East Coast? Washington State apples are often found on the shelves of the super market here during various times of the year. I'm glad you are posting here more often. It's always good to hear and learn from another person. I hope our little network of people grows bigger now that the market seems to be a little bit less important. -JC
