Today Pig Farm Hill kicked my butt. Could only make it half way up. Felt like I was about to throw up and my heart was beating like crazy. My legs were screaming, “Please make it stop!”

I turned around and called it a day. If the first half was doing that to me the second half would have killed me. The grade gets steeper towards the end. The shame of it all.

Something to think about:

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage”.
