Hi Donna

Very much enjoyed the piece.

Food for thought to understate a bit.

Brought all kinds of thoughts, new and old. An 'old' thought might be that I have forever concluded that were I to live in a hopeless situation, one where my family is starving. I would find the way to steal that what was needed to keep my family safe.

Another older thought was my strange perspective on screaming , misbehaving children. Yes. I used to think it'd be nice to drown the little shits or bounce them off a damn wall. And yes, I know that was seriously wrong.

A 'newer' dawning much to my relief, maybe due to getting old, is how utterly precious and adorable the little ones are.

Strange.

But perhaps this speaks in some way to some of what you are reffering to here.

The question being: Where the hell does this come from?

Back to my original thought. I probably wouldn't make a very good bank robber. But I would sure as hell steal chickens...

Ah. And were I to happen upon a hundred grand in bills on the side of the rode, would I turn it in? I'll leave that one to you...
