There is just no point in making the journey if you're going to sit down in the road and have a temper tantrum about how hard it is, or lift your arms to the sky and whine, "Carry me, carry me!" I am an optimist. I am not sarcastic, cynical, or jaded, and no one is going to convince me that there is virtue in giving up. "As good as it gets" is plain nonsense!
Every morning I look at those little baby fish, now growing at an alarming rate. They will need to be removed from the pond soon. I tried to catch 'em. Couldn't do it. I put on the waders, swished the net around, and they laughed at me. I bought a minnow trap and left it in the pond for two days. They were nestled all around it when last I checked, but not IN it.
My friend says to wait until winter when they slow down, and then catch 'em. Sounds like a good plan. I hope I have not become attached to them by winter!
