Still Standing Up

I took this shot, as many others, in the most destructed village I ever saw in the state of Georgia, somewhere southwest of Augusta. And here's a new joke: A cop is asked by a kid what time it is. "A quarter to 11" says the cop. "At 11 o'clock you'll kiss my back!" says the kid and runs away. The cop starts running after that kid, trying to catch him. After few minutes he passes another cop. "Hey, were are you rushing to?" asks the other cop. "I'm trying to catch that kid. He told me to kiss his back at 11 o'clock", answers our cop. The other one checks his watch and tells him "Hey, it's still early, you got 10 more minutes!"

    sad to see stuff like this. I know these people lost a lot but they also have a change to start over. I had that happen to me.
