A visit with Minnie Mouse helped me take my mind off more serious matters for a little while.
Before I left on a family vacation with my wife Mary to bring our youngest daughter and her friend to DisneyWorld in Orlando, Florida, I ran across an interesting debt clock on the internet.
U.S. National Debt Clock: Real Time.
It appears there are many different versions of this on the web, but this one I found particularly fascinating, albeit depressing. I don’t want to go into politics on this blog, but I believe this clock, if it’s accurate, speaks for itself. Not to make light of our situation, it is mind-boggling how fast the numbers spin and spin. Good thing I found Minnie to help me take my mind off things.
