I am thankful that this year I have had more work than I’ve had since I was laid off in 2015. I’m thankful I’ve had the years of experience of working in the offshore oilfield which prepared me for this time. I have such a hard time right now with this ‘pandemic’, it has a 99%+ survival rate but everyone in the world seems to think it’s worth throwing away everything that makes life worth living in order to be ‘safe’. I’m thankful that I’ll be able to eat and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner out here on the boat where we’re

They must have a hell of a salesman, they’ve managed to find work for it with a dive company for at least this one job.

I think I will spend some time researching how many countries Americans are allowed to travel to and how much time we’re allowed to spend there.

Or giving up everything I’ve ever worked for, running away to some foreign land and hoping it will not turn into the same panic driven banana republic. It seems I am one of the very few who believe life is for LIVING and not for barely surviving while shivering in fear over some tiny chance of dying.
