One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a
well. The animal cried piteously for hours as
the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway;
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and
help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the
donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally
looked down the well. He was astonished at what
he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his
back, the donkey was doing something amazing.

He would shake it off and take a step up.


As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel
dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it
off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the well and
happily trotted off!


Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds
of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well
is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of
our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out
of the deepest wells just by not stopping,
never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.


Remember the five simple rules to be happy:


Free your heart from hatred - Forgive..

Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.

Live simply and appreciate what you have.

Give more.


Expect less

NOW ............

Enough of that crap . The donkey later came back and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and
the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.


MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:
When you do something wrong, and try to cover
your ass, it always comes back to bite you.

Bob,
I've been working on a project that takes me to North Dakota so much, I'm looking for an apartment to save on the hotel fees.

Fargo is as progressive if not more than St Paul.

No smoking in bars or bingo hall (even though you can gamble in bars).

Very strong code enforcement even around the university where some housing stock is much older.

Big tax payer investment in green development and clean energy (check out the downtown library).

The mayor is a global warming mayor and has sign on with other mayors who understand science.

The city has a climate change commission. For that matter, the state has three different commissions that address climate change due to global warming.

All of this and more in a state that hasn't voted for a Democratic President since 1964.

I like Fargo- won't move there but, will continue to enjoy it everytime I'm there for a few days.

Keep going west and we can talk about how Progressive Montana has become. I'm pleasantly surprised with some of the recent changes there. Lots of liberal/libertarians there.

The people on this list would be more happy with states like Mississippi and South Carolina.

Are the mayor and city council also squirting tears because he needs the state to send in a semi full of cash to subsidize all of that moonbat bullshit?

Thought not.

STFU.
