An observation on life.

Mike Bates: Nice guys finish last, or not at all.
Clime: Then I stand alone, and together.

I'm on the sidelines of a serious shitstorm and can only recall Mr. Mark Twain's comments in his book "Travelling the Equator"

Mr. Twain: "Be good, and you will be lonesome."
Mr. Buffett's Addendum: "Be lonesome and you will be free."

My comment: live La Vie Dansante.
