Dead Skunk In The Middle Of The Road in Life After 60

Every generation believes their music was the best. For us baby boomers we know that to be false. Ours was the best. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and the list goes on and on. (sorry to disappoint, I was not an Elvis fan.)
On a short piece of highway, I travel each day I noticed three dead skunks. You can’t help but notice them!!! Have you ever been sprayed by a skunk? Let me tell you, it is an experience like no other and you never forget it.
Sometimes in life, you just have to accept the things that come your way, even when they stink. Of course, it is better to avoid the situation if at all possible.
Today as I made the journey down the highway I was reminded of an old fable I once heard. A pitbull can whip a skunk in a fight every time, but you have to ask yourself is it worth the stink? As Kenny Rogers sang, You have to know when to hold ‘em, and know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away and know when to run!
