That's my good friend @daniel_ddey The monster @pro_ears edit is from our man @clay.pictures
Dan is a Firefighter/Paramedic and Command Sgt Major in the US Army with plenty of time in bad places. He always has a huge smile on his face, a kind word and good joke to get you smiling too.
He's seen his share of hurt, garbage, carnage, and destruction. In fact, I'd guess he's seen enough for a hundred lifetimes. Why do you think he's carrying that smile?
Life is heavy at times, some days too heavy. None of us can carry all that shit day in and day out, and if you try, it'll break you.
Designed into us are beautifully crafted mechanisms to deal with stress, hurt, pain, rage, fear, and all the other stuff that works hard to squash us like bugs. See @thecheckenginelight For more on that.
I'll post something serious later that matches the tone of this solemn day and reflects more on yesterday, but I'll also live this day.
F those who killed Charlie. F those who crashed planes into our buildings. F those who hate you for embracing freedom.
But....
Do not be overrun by fear, hate, and worry. Remember that freedom goes both ways. Disagree, but do it with honor.
Defend the weak and innocent. Provide aid to those in need. Be your own cavalry and help others if able and don't be a dickhead.
A few lines from Old Thomas Paine from "The Crisis" Dec 23, 1776-
"These are the times that try men's souls. Tyranny like hell is not easily conquered. The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
We feel you, Tom, we really do.
The torch of liberty still burns this day.
Carry it with honor.

Some days, a little humor is the missing spice.
