I am so glad I travel in the quiet, sparsely populated, beautiful, natural areas of this wonderful country. I am beginning to wonder just where our society is heading ... if, in fact, it is heading anywhere worthwhile.
The headlines on the news and papers show almost nothing but assaults, killings, fights, road rage, drunkenness, kids high as kites stealing cars and crashing them into other cars and injuring/killing people. If not that type of news, then some brainless celebrity is doing something important like trimming their finger nails.
Well you don't want to end up with the ugly koala do you?

Yep it's melon shaking stuff alright. Guy must be a suite short of a full deck to blue over a piddling, pug nosed possum.

I came to the conclusion that the news was just upsetting me -so I've stopped watching it and reading it. My happiness index has increased significantly.
