The economy is bad even for ex-video game characters!!

1997 - Rayden in his prime!!
One of my favorite games growing was Mortal Kombat. And my favorite character on there was Raiden. Raiden had control over thunder and lighting, he could fly and teleport! Plus he just looked really cool. I was on base driving yesterday running some errands when I saw Rayden! I gave him the whassup head nod, which he returned with a swagger that only an immortal bad ass could do. But I guess he fell on hard times with the economy being as bad as it is. Because instead of raining lightening bolts from the sky he was whacking weeds along the sidewalk with a gas powered trimmer. I felt sad for a moment, but I know the economy will pick back up sooner or later and Rayden will be back to whacking immortal enemies instead of dandelions.

2011 - Rayden keeping the base looking nice by keeping the edges trimmed.
