Clowns. There is an uneasy feeling about them. They’re just not natural. John Wayne Gacy has ruined it for clowns. When I was 6, we went to Six Flags, and it was horror night. We were walking around, and there were people dressed like zombies and clowns. They would chase you, and a clown got up into my face, and I’ve never been the same since.

I’m scared of the upcoming election. What really scares me is the state of the federal government and the voting choices that we have for president. As a veteran, it’s very important to me that we get this election right by electing the right candidate.

What scares me is: Us and our future generations—our children and our grandchildren and their grandchildren—drowning and dying in a sea of plastic. It’s absolutely abhorrent and a shame. Look around; plastic is everywhere. It’s in our faces; it’s in our blood; it’s in our brains; and we eat it. There has to be a better way.

Financial instability, demise and distress. In the world that we live in, it’s hard to make money to be able to eat and function on an emotional level. You have to have a clear headspace. You need to balance your life with financial stability, and have a balance between work and happiness.

What scares me at this point in life (I’m 69 years old) is the way that things have been changing in the office of the president. The office is being run by committee. I didn’t vote for a committee. And if the same party is still in power after this election, that will continue. I think that the country should be run by the elected individual, and they should ultimately take the responsibility.
