When asked, how’s it going? I like to respond “Life is Good” I have a my health, a job, a nice wife. I live in a house I built with my own two hands. My assets exceed my liabilities. I have a good view out my window when I wake up. My car is inspected. Yes Life is Good. Is Life Great? Naw, can’t say that. I aspire to a better job, a new tractor, and I wish the check engine light would go out in my car.

Problem is when I say “Life is Good” too many people try to remind my why it is not, carbon in the sky, corporate greed, evil Republicans, whatever. Seems both Democrats and Republicans both like to say how messed up the country is.

“Make America Great” now that is a catchy. Maybe I will be saying “Life is Great”.
