Git-R-Dun

In Bubbie's view, one of the responsibilities of being a member of the human race is to take the next step, intellectually, spiritually; to not put limitations on yourself. To say, "These are my shortcomings!" and work at improving upon them. The only way to get peace in our lives is to join all of the pieces and bring them into the whole. Can you rise above your ego? Can you step up, overcome, and then reach back and pull someone along with you? Of course you can! Git-r-dun!

Oh, I Get It Forrest!

Uncle Bubba was headed to the lumber yard to grab a few neccesities so that he could get back home and fix a few things around the house. Hitting the 2 lane highway he mashes down on the accelerator to bring his Ford pickup up to speed; well, sort of. Though the speed limit is 55, the vehicle just ahead of him in the left lane is jugging along at just about 50. But it appears to be creeping past the SUV in the right lane, or is it. The SUV keeps slowing down and speeding up. Uncle Bubba can begin to feel heat flush in his face as his blood pressure rises and his patience falls. Why doesn't the vehicle in the left lane move over to the right lane if they don't want to at least drive at the speed limit? What makes people so stupid when they get behind the wheel? Oh, I get it! They are not all that bright before they get in the car! In Bubbie's view, maybe that's what Forrest Gump's mama was talking about when she told him, "stupid is as stupid does."
