Prayer and Daily Expression of Gratitude

[Guide Dog]

Grateful to have not overreacted to a stressful situation this morning.

[The Tao]

Where in southern Mexico?  Back in the spring of 1978 I spend three days in the prison of San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas due to a fight between four locals and a friend and me; we were defending the two girls under our protection from being dragged off and when we ran to the police station the only policeman on duty ran away when the four of them arrived.  Funny story in retrospect, but to this day I remain grateful that it ended well.

Good morning Guro... San Luis Potosi, El Defe, Xilitla, and Zacatecas... Funny story you have there....so typical of Mexico...haha.
I'm glad that it ended well too. Chiapas....equals nice!!! I'll be back in the States at LAX tonight at 2300.

It would be nice to come down and train some when I get back. We'll exchange stories of stuff that I don't post online.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Me? I'm grateful that we have the means to learn and progress through the Martial Arts. I'm grateful that I don't have to remain ignorant forever.

Amen to that BD. Worst in 60 years...

Nothing like Joplin MO, but yesterday was my first tornado ever as a property owner - Minneapolis was hit hard also. God Bless my tenants who ran for to their basements and found safety while the funnel ran through.  I have some cleanup to do, these are 2 story homes buried in debris with pieces of the homes knocked off.  Streets closed, schools closed, all wires down, power off, helicopters circling and 9pm curfew. It wasn't looting at the liquor store where the whole top blew off according to the owner they were taking the bottles out on the honor system when he got there. Lots of photos today but it looks about like this in every direction:

Good luck to you and yours, DougMacG.
