Feeling Lucky
Today my wife and I got to vote for a new state government. None of the major parties in the election inspire any confidence, but hey, at least we actually get to vote for a democratically elected government.
After voting we took the kids to the beach for a swim. The water was cool and clear, and some of the waves were surfable. Everyone had fun.
In the grand scheme of things, life is pretty damn good. There are many many others who are far less fortunate.
