Stuck again! I sat there in the front seat of my jeep, thinking "I can't believe it- not again!" With a sigh, I stepped down to the ground and slowly walked around the jeep. There it was: my right rear tire was sunk into about 4 feet of loose sand. "Sand is the worst," I thought to myself. "This is going to take hours to dig myself out." I got out my shovel and started digging. Sure enough, it was slow going, trying to get rid of all that sand so my tire would spin again. "Why can't I be more careful?" I kept asking myself. "I need to stop daydreaming and pay attention to the road!"

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
