Am I being too critical? I'm open-minded to everybody's outlook on this. Its really been on my mind. My skills that are temporarily sleeping would be useful in a situation like the at the pool. The Vet with no help vs the broken breaker caper of 2018??? FBI investigation? Do you know what FBI stands for?

These 2 posts show why I love you guys - in a brotherly way, of course, as fellow human beings on this earth. What a beautiful exchange to wake up to this morning.
Nucky's questions/concerns show a person with a heart of gold whose priorities are so spot on. K's response is well, typical K - concise, intelligent, and NOTHING but true.
That thread about the disabled veteran gives me the same uneasy feeling every time I see it pop up. It seems so much easier to not get involved, to walk away, and as a result avoid confrontation. If confronted with a situation like that I hope I would take a moment to call on God to have the courage to do something because I'm not sure I would have it in me otherwise. Although sometimes you never know. Sometimes the righteous indignation stirs within and I know I can't just walk away even if it means not necessarily confronting the offender but instead taking the time to offer a word of encouragement and support to the person who was attacked.
Anyway, you guy's exchange really touches my heart this morning, represents so well who you both really are, and makes me proud to call you NOTHING brothers, if NOTHING else. I'm glad you were still online, K, to address Nucky's concern. You often seem to be in the right place at the right time around here and as a result we're all blessed. :)
