$PSGR Didya ever go into a neighborhood that you knew was not somewhere you would be safe.....but went anyway? If you did go into that neighborhood and had the frog snot beaten out of you, did you go back again? What's the possibility that IF you did go back you did not go alone?

Life is like that neighborhood. Sometimes you just have to find out things for yourself...even if they hurt like hell or almost kill you. After a bad experience you prepare yourself accordingly when you are faced with the same or a similar occurrence. Having good strong family members and friends around helps get you get through the rough areas and times.

The questions each and every one of us must answer are:
1) "How many times do I want to return to that neighborhood?"

2) "How many times do I have to have my butt kicked before I realize that I am travelling the wrong path?"

3) "How many times have I trusted the words of the individuals in the neighborhood who said everything is fine and I will be OK if I just let them do their thing?"

4) "How many times can I stay a fool and let others control my actions?"

5) "When is ENOUGH, ENOUGH?"

Just thoughts in passing. Maybe I will take a ride up to the NEW ENEMA STANDARD MINE/CLAIM near Kingman this long weekend...IF the traffic is not too bad. I know the neighborhood...there are only a few shady characters who claim to work in the area. I will be fine.
