[#0000FF]In my younger, more destructive and foolhardy days I might have filleted his tires. Gave up all that stuff. Not because I didn't want to but because I got too slow in my old age. Can't outrun a bullet. Heck, can't even outrun a mad old lady.
In the "wisdom" that comes with increased years I have come to realize that doing something to someone else...just to get even...makes you less of a person than they are. They do bad stuff because they are mean or stupid...or both. How can we maintain our ascendency if we contrive a mean and stupid retribution?
But it sure would be fun to sit back and watch the expression on his face when he found his truck full of %$@#...or his tires down on the rims. The
thing is that he probably just went on his merry way and didn't give a thought to any inconvenience he may have caused others. Kinda like some of our elected officials.
It's okay. I gotta get all philosophical once in a while. Keeps me centered between fishing trips.
