Holy asshat explosion...which when you think about it is really gross. Blech.

CK, I'm with you on the bored and caffeinated ...'cept I've got the live feed of the Upperville Horse Show running on my 'puter to keep me company. Horse Shows back east are so very cool. On grass? With trees in the middle of the ring? We just don't have that in the barren dust bowl that is CA. And it's fun to know that while these riders are the top in our nation, they still make the same mistakes I make. Maybe the only thing that really is separating us IS the money.

Which may be why when asked, "if you could get away with one crime, what would it be?" my response was about robbing the national treasury or someone's swiss bank account. Another person said 'pull all the mattresses tags off.' Funny answer, yes...but really?

Ah, but it is if the mattress isn't your's. Like, if you go into a furniture store and pull all the mattresses tags off. That's what he was saying.

Mine would probably involve killing a person or people who I think need to no longer be alive, the real crime is only getting to pick one of them.

Ice Cream picture works for me. Made me chuckle. I'm one of the few, the proud, the strong (to go along with the soldier theme) who actually doesn't like ice cream. I eat it maybe once or twice a year...and only if it's one of a very specific few flavors.

I think as hard as we try or try not to allow folks to understand who we are HK, they gain their own perspective which at times is completely the opposite. But perspective isn't wrong. Like preferance it is a mere point of view. I just want to be sure that the perspective of the shiny folk on at least this thread is as truthful as possible.

But (as I'm sure you're aware) it is really hard to get a true perspective of people while online.

I wonder how people would visualize me if I hadn't described myself or posted the few pics available.
