And so it goes

What’s the old saying?

Oh yeah.

You are either part of the solution or you are part of the problem. Or like most, maybe just a part of the viewing public, clearly an option many take.

I find it hard to not get involved. I have found that taking a step to doing the right thing (and without question, it is just my view of what the ‘right thing’ is…) is usually the choice I make.

The rewards of stepping forward are rarely seen in a check, cash or bonus, they tend to be far less tangible. They may just be a word of kindness, a buck to a bum, who might actually need it. It might happen. Though I find, as Chris Rock once said, “If you are still making really clever signs, you aren’t that hungry yet.”

Friday changed our lives. You would not think that 3 punks in a red truck could do that, but they did. It might be the most they actually ever achieve in their entire little existence. It would be very mature to step aside and look at this from the big picture.

Screw that.

There is a point of complete and total saturation, the sponge cannot hold anymore. As a wise philosopher once said, “I’s hads all I cans Take and aints got to takes NO more” The line is drawn in the sand, end of discussion.

I am amazed at the support, comments and lack of any kind of reaction this seems to have brought out from people we know. We thank you for the offers and suggestions, was unaware of the damage certain solvents can do to paint jobs. We will be honest and confess that we won’t be going after anyone, well at least not physically. It’s good to have the Chief of Police as a personal friend.

The dumbest quote of course would come from family members who felt it important to point out that they just don’t think of my wife as Chinese. I guess if they did, then the whole incident would be ok? I guess racism is just yet another well-hidden disease that even the owner is not aware they have.

Well, thanks for the crew from the OC for their never wavering support, and Belmont Shores of course.

Off to see if the golf ball collection is still on track.
