Well hell

I forgot to make a "bucket list."   I guess starting over at age six is out.

Went Marlin fishing early 20's... big exciting activity, unless of course you're the Marlin.  Caught a big ole Swordfish, beautiful fighter, bright blue colors in the sun.  Bruises up and down my legs, the fight was worth it. For me. Not so much for the Swordfish.  His body turned grey once he was mounted on the side of the boat.... they stuffed him and put his colors back.  Not so exciting after all...regretted it the moment he died.  For my entertainment.

So soon old, so late smart.. had a friend who used to say that..too bad I was too dumb to listen.  Killing wildlife, killing any life is unnecessary... that includes cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens, fish or any other living breathing organism we kill for a taste on the tongue...and that's all it's for because human beings have no requirement for meat, dairy, or eggs...NONE.

Went vegan three or four years ago, never been healthier. Am off ALL medications with exception of thyroid. No more high blood pressure, high cholesterol, acid reflux, restless leg syndrome. No more.

On another note, worried about climate change or just mouthing the words?  Animal agriculture is the single biggest contributor to climate change... millions of acres of forest, jungle, desert land have been destroyed, are being destroyed in the name of grazing animals.  Millions upon millions of gallons of water lost to animal agriculture.  What would the animals do? Well, if we stopped breeding them, they'd live normal life spans, just like we do.

If I had one bit of advice after decades of living, it would be "go vegan and do it now."
