My favorite Latin quote comes to mind, though in this case it packs a one-two punch: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? ("Who shall watch the watchers?")
I'm glad u have an outlet. Mine has always been music, either performing or doing slides shows in the the old days of MP3's. Definably keeps one sane. =^..^*=

Thanks for posting n doing this. My Dad was a NAVY pilot during that period n returned so changed that even though my Mom was also an active duty WAVE they divorced.
