Perspective

This camel isn't doing anything extraordinary, but I think camels are quite amusing just as they are! The lady who owns the house I am currently renting sent me some pictures of the animals at a watering hole in Djibouti, Africa, where she is stationed with the Army. She apparently has spent the past several days de-worming goats brought to the watering hole by the local people, who bring their animals there frequently to drink. The goats and camels often represent the total wealth of most of the locals, and they were very interested in what the American vets could do to help their herds.

We live such lives of luxury here. A fresh perspective is a good reminder of that fact.
