We take a bad ideas further than necessary
Rather than admit we are wrong.

Wisdom sometimes can be found in unlikely places
While stupid can be found almost anywhere

White Morpho Butterfly (Morpho Polyphemus)
Butterfly 2018-70

There are things we don't need and can't afford
That are sometimes returned or unwanted
We choose to buy anyway

Thankful for the people who resist
Folks say you are wasting your time
and you can't make a difference.

Locally - Nationally - Globally

I am thankful you believe otherwise
I am thankful you prove them wrong

Thank you

If thanks could be given non-stop
It would still be insufficient to what some deserve
Thank you.

Rather stand alone for what is right
Than join a crowd in what is clearly wrong

Doing nice things for an expected return
Is not the selfless gift some make it seem.

Taught by the people who mattered most
As they chose to do for you

At times in life...

More harm can be done in a careless seconds
Than help can arrive in hours

Keep your head in the game

With A Little Help From My Friends
Joe Cocker ‧ 1969

What would you do if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears, then I'll sing you a song
I will try not to sing out of key, yeah
Oh, baby I get by
By with a little help from my friends
Try with a little help...

So many people on Earth
Being unimportant seems inevitable

But we are connected in so many ways
Never accept the idea anything is irrelevant

Sorry for delayed response.
There have been many supportive Tesla owners
More about larger principles

If in the greater Cincinnati area Saturday AM
Tesla protesters will be collecting
Non-perishable items and supplies

Tesla Takedown -- Cincinnati
Saturday November 15th, 2025

I know why the supporters honk 👍
But what makes the tiny few driving by
Become enraged and defend billionaires?

Many honk and cheer and yell support
Ruining the hater's day who is stuck next to them 🤣

The horns were louder and the middle fingers less.
Overwhelming support by those passing by
