Default A random thought from Kern

Ridingtowork this morning I thought:"Now where the hell would a forest ranger go to get away from it all?"

We go up to thecottage atleast once a month to "get away" for a long weekend.Anyone else have any stupid stuff like that crosstheir mind?

I asked my wife what she thought at lunch, she sighed and said,"Someday God will let me in onhis secrectas towhat I did wrong!!"

Guilty as charged...most of the time riding with my wife i come up with what i think are credible revelations, and almost every time i get the "you are freaking weird" look.

With that line of work, they might not need to "get away from it all."

Funny but true story. My wife and I asked this very question to a forest ranger a few years ago, while we were vacationing in the Colorado Rockies. He was about to retire after many years in the Forest Service.

His response:

"We're moving to Florida. I'm sick and tired of snow, trees, tourists and traffic".

I asked him if he'd ever been to Florida. He responded "nope, but our daughter lives there and we want to be near her".

I just didn't have the heart to tell him what he might be getting himself into.

I shook his hand, wished him good luck and walked away.... almost blown away by his answers.
