Tears

Yes, I shed a few more tears for our retiring veterinarian today.

This evening, however, I watched a 60 Minutes segment on homeless kids- kids living in cars, motels, with neighbors.  I watched them explain what it feels like to be hungry, how they use the Walmart bathroom to clean up before going to school.  A girl smiles as she tells how it embarrasses her when her father has to beg at the side of the road to help pay for their cheap motel room.

This is American, goddanmit!  Kids shouldn't have to go through being locked out of their own homes, their belongings being auctioned off.  (Not that their parents should have to go through this either.)

Got a good deal on a foreclosure house?  Just think about who used to live there and what happened to them.  These times suck.  This is something to cry about!

My vet is retiring.  My dogs will have someone new caring for them.  I can pay their bills.  I really ought to shed my tears for something else!
