What’s All This Then?
The ranting, musing, and general pontificating of Davin Ebanks, a sometimes marginally self-employed bonefish guide who hails from the euphemistically titled “Grand” Cayman Island, of the former British West Indies.What they said...
“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that's 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs.

~Thomas McGuane

Yeah, I hate posting depressing $#!t, but sometimes we need a little scare to get us to actually take action.
