My idea of heaven,drinking coffee,smoking, reading the paper,and socializing.

I'm not much of a breakfast person, but the place I had breakfast this morning is a definite throw back. It has a counter and it has tables, and nearly everyone knows everyon and chit chat flies back and forth...........and no one that is smoking gets a dirty look....in fact they're told to grab their coffee and ashtray and join folks at a table if they happen to be alone.

Heck even the Republicans get along with the democrats....well sort of - but the insults were all good natured, even those coming from my group of Republican women!!!!

Yep! That's the way the place at Rock Island is, too!

What happened to our society?
What happened to the America we loved as youngsters?

I get a little sick to my stomach to think of how much we have lost that our kids and grandkids will never see.
