I don't know about you, but I have been loosely following the saga of the wrong way Emperor penguin that ended up on a beach in New Zealand.
Happy Feet, if you don't know, was a lost Emperor penguin that somehow ended up thousands of miles from home and thought sand on the beach was snow. It nearly killed him.
The citizens there in New Zealand took him in and nursed him back to health with numerous volunteers and the contributions of many of the citizens and others world wide.
Their efforts resulted in getting him back to health and putting him on a boat ride (very expensive one at that) back to where he could hopefully make it back to where he really belongs.
Just a wonderful story of people doing what they do best, taking care of things!!
I know alot of people just like this, they are the local cruiser community!! No kidding, the giving spirit lives here in America too!
I also have seen just this morning that the popularity results for our current President have slipped to another career low for the administration.
I see that even 2/3 of those that voted for President Obama don't really like the way things are going in this country. Wow, that really is a bummer for all of us.
I can't totally blame the current administration for all the problems plaguing our country right now, but the way they have been handled have certainly not been for the best.
Childish sandbox fighting just for the sake of party affiliations and just to pick a fight. STUPID!
The real losers in this battle have been the citizens of this great country, not their political parties.
If the elected members of our Congress could only take a lesson from those that rescued a wayward penguin and work together to actually accomplish something. I would certainly expect better approval ratings for the bunch of them.
