Lord, I need some. Well, more than I have. For example, I could use the level of patience that one lady demonstrated today …

Mommy and two boys come into the store. Older boy, about six, pretty well behaved, quietly looks around and asks permission before touching or playing with anything. Younger boy, about three, goes straight into Taz mode. Mommy is constantly taking Younger by the hand, guiding him towards age appropriate toy section, while still managing to shop for the birthday present.

In conversation while ringing up the transaction, Mommy says that Younger managed to slip out the doggy door into the back yard, pull the hose into the living room through said doggy door, and then turn on the water and spray the entire contents of the living room in the time it took Mommy to put down the grocery sacks and turn around to see where Younger was. Lord, I want the kind of patience that allowed Younger to still be breathing after that.

Because you see, after this long, I figure the rest of the world’s occupants should be operating by the rules that most of us already follow. My patience for people who figure they don’t need to follow the rules is running really, really, thin.

Are ya listening, NAACP? I have no patience for those who act in a racially inspired manner calling others “racist” – are ya listening, Mr. “dismiss the charges even though there is solid video evidence against the black panthers” Holder?

OK, gotta go to bed. I’m so mad and tired right now I can’t even put the thoughts together that had coalesced earlier into a well-written post. You should have read it then, it was awesome.

Chat ya later…
