I stopped and thanked him for his service.   I may be lucky in my area.  I’m pretty sure I am.  But [BLEEP] get it together people.  I just wanted to share that since I’ve been uplifted and
Trying to pay it forward.  We’re
All human.  Let’s just get along and WORK for our accomplishments rather than be owed it.  Let’s be kind and nice even to those that don’t. I may take a few points off my far right card but I don’t give a [BLEEP].
