 Years ago I read an article written by a guy who made it his life's work to determine what made people all over the world happy. One of his conclusions was...

 "It's not having more but wanting less that's key to many peoples' happiness."

 Getting (at least partially) out of the grip of a perceived need for things I actually only want has made me a happier person.

Happiness for me is a nice sunny day with a paddle in my hands, a long pointed bow ahead of me and places to go.  Oh, and no freaking sea lions in my way.

Happiness is an out of the blue, "just cause I want to" kiss from your wife.

... speaking at your daughter's appointment ceremony to the US Coast Guard Academy, which I'm about to do here in an hour or so. A one star Admiral is presenting her cadet appointment, I'm hosting it at my command, and as many folks as we could get to make it will be there. The world may be going to hell around us, but every now and then you get a glimpse of what could be a bright future for your kids, and it makes you feel like maybe something you did or said (or didn't get in the way of more likely) can really change things for the better. Now if I can pull it off without choking up too bad, I'll be really happy.

Go get 'em, TeamNelson!!!
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.  Ronaldus Maximus

Very nice! My heartfelt congratulations to You, your Family and your Daughter!

It seems to depend on the brand. Some really smell bad, others are not too bad at all.
Give me a low brass 2 3/4" winchester lead anyday... AA's are the best...
Roll some Pyrodex Paper hulls and they smell like BBQ.
