This is the same boat ramp as the last image I posted. (Assuming I did it right with the new image uploader.) I stopped to take the photos on my way to our conference because the sky was so spectacular.

Lately I have spent a lot of time thinking about morality, civility, common decency, and how our social mores have changed. I believe it is because we have lost respect for ourselves and for others. Many of you over 60 will understand- maybe not agree, but understand. Many of you under 60 will not get it.

The world I grew up in would never have a Maury show where girls would get on national TV and admit they had been sleeping around let alone not know who fathered their children. (We had "Queen for a Day", but these women were desperately poor, not immoral.) Public cursing and public indecency were NOT OK. Obnoxious behavior was not a right, and deliberately insulting others was not accepted. We make movies about children behaving like complete brats and call it comedy. We make movies about adults behaving boorishly and applaud. I am downright disgusted.

Ok, let me get down off my soapbox.I'm done.
