TG: Thanks for the advice I really do appreciate it and in many ways you are right except for one: I am actually a positive person in spite of the following:
1. Our endless wars and the human costs of those wars
2. My neighbor is deploying next week and has deployed so many times that he has almost lost count (22+ years)
3. In the last year I have watched ~1000 people get walked out the door at my work
4. I count 5 foreclosures literally within 200 feet of my house – it seems like foreclosure activity has really picked up in my area.
5. Our elementary school in a substantial way was tagged by gangs (based on the tag) this past week.
6. And oh yah, I have been financially wrecked by my decision to move to Temecula.
But again, I am truly positive. I spent $300 bucks just last week sprucing up the front of my house despite all of the brown lawns around me.
