TM #37 (June '06) is coming up within the hour.
Thank you Mom.
Boy, you're sure doing your homework.
Revolutionaries like to attempt a take over, when the fever pitch is at it's highest, and a government is in chaos. Presently, this group has an unknown size to be formidable. On the other hand, the Communist Party U.S.A. who organized the Mexican flag marches could be troublesome, and could not be. I don't want to believe, that all those illegals came here to fight a war to retake the Southwest. Currently, there are to many city and state swat teams, local police, and state police that could handle them, not to mention 2nd Amendment U.S. citizens. It's legal to openly pack here in AZ.
I'm finding that more and more, I'm tuning out the news and instead, listening to music, working in the yard, and reading. I'm afraid that I have even put Free Republic on the back burner lately. It just is getting so depressing and discouraging. I'm trying to fill my life with more positive activities.
I had a wonderful day with my two youngest grandchildren. I took Andrew (nearly three) and Grace (15 months) to a petting zoo. (We used nearly a whole small bottle of Curel hand sanitizer.) Then to McDonalds for lunch and up to Mt. Rushmore for ice cream. The only nap they got was in the 10 minute ride from the "faces" to our house. We had a great time and gave my daughter-in-law a chance to shampoo her carpets. My back is killing me. Gracie decided she forgot how to walk about half way through the trip and wanted to be carried. It was fun.....and I was able to put Haditha, bird flu, immigration, terror threats, etc. out of my mind.
I really believe we all need to just step away from the TV and computer more often and focus on what's really meaningful in our lives. I'm not saying that stuff isn't important, but, I need to keep it in perspective.
Just ramblin' a bit here and feeling a little introspective on the eve of my birthday. I still check in here a couple times a day.
Oh, poop. I meant for the above post to be a "private reply".
Sorry.
