this story makes me feel inept, soft and extremely fortunate. from the author: even before the war, most of the prisoners had been well accustomed to the art of scraping by. the majority of them had grown up on small farms and ranches during the depths of the great depression. they knew discipline and self-reliance. they were field hands and shade-tree mechanics, men who were crafty with their fingers. they understood how to scrimp and barter and improvise. they grew up hunting, fishing, tinkering with tractors and old cars. from early boyhood most of them could tend their own gardens and were expert at butchering and dressing animals, using every scrap of the carcass.

two year old courage is a scary thing, my son has now beat on both a 5 and 10 year old at the neighborhood playground.
i hope he isn’t looking to me for support if these kids’ parents decide to throw down.
