Every once in a while , I get thrown into a time machine and go back to begin to see what life was like for those who blazed our trail.
Chris Columbus.....
Not Criss Cologne or The Peter Falk 'Columbo' version.. suffered terribly in his adventures............
Encountering RD
as did many others
Ponce de Leon, my saviour , found the fountain of youth in Florida.
Likewise, the French entering Canada - or the whoevers at Plymouth Rock.... life wasn't easy.
Life in RD must have hard for good ole' Chris... bugs, natives -
not much has changed !!?
The French , in Quebec, died by numbers suffering through the winters they couldn't have imagined.... they're a bit better today - but still harsh.
Things change and stay the same.
Wuddy can back me up on this..... he's perched on Lake Erie
I am no Al Gore.... but the times they are achangin'....
Here, where I am, on the great lake the Indians called 'Huron' the weather has been erratic - to say the least.
Temps from 2C to 26C in 5 days..... thats 35 to 80 for you Americans..
The past few days have been frigid.... cold , windy, lake temps getting blown all over you.
Sure.... Nice to light a fire at night, but better if for effect than survival.
When I suffer this inconvenience (minor), I ponder what life was like before l was here -what life was like before , for those who pioneered ahead of us..... harsh would be an understatement.
Cold in Quebec winters,.......... blistering, wet heat in the Carolinas and Georgia summers
Many died.... many didn't
And here we are --------- complaining about this and that in our respective situations.
Climb in to my time machine.............. you'll beg to get back 'home' in a second
Just go with the flow.......
Life's a journey, hang on, and enjoy the ride
