Some food for thought before you dust off the BBQ and get to the holidaze ting...
Robert Reich brings clarity to the economy circa 2011, Skippy points out some things regarding the environment and it's scary, good men and women in uniform continue to die in needless wars, and the rich just keep getting richer...
Same as it ever was... you'd really think we'd get a clue.
Which, of course, has bugger all to do with boats, boatbuilding, and cruising... Except for the fact that what's going on in the world affects us big time whether we are anchored in (insert your most dreamed about or favorite anchorage here), and if you do not believe, just look at how much it costs you to fill a grocery basket with provisions, fill your fuel tanks, or get a new sail.
Which is why I subtitled this blog "Sailing in Hard Times" to try and be a small link to the real world and not just another escapist let's-party-till-the-lights-go-out and adopt an Alfred E.Newman take on sailing...
Have a happy and safe Memorial Day.
Listening to Crooked Still
So it goes...
