Once upon a time.

Once upon a time I believed the United States was the greatest place in the world. Time has moved on and I am left with the feeling of delusion in what we have selected as the leadership at all levels. Greed and manipulative in all that they do, when their only goal is to be reelected. I can not see change no matter who no matter who we put in charge with the power to make and change laws and spin our country in a downward spiral.





So give me my horse and saddle and let me give up all my comforts and travel the highways and byways . Free to find the places where I can make a difference for those I find in places I see along the way.





Sure as hell our government is not going to reach them and I don't see God as being the answer to their problems. It may not be on horse back but would be a very simple mode. You know, I may have to have a home on wheels so that I can carry my tools to do what needs to be done. Or maybe a motor cycle with a trailer. How about a row boat.





What I need now is a plan. Anyone want to join me?

Pies and cakes and worms

I have in my possession a freshly bakes apple pie. There are two pieces missing. The remainder if in the safe with my Will. But, never fear, it will not be there when I am gone. The only thing that might happen is that I may have to sell it to get Ellen out of hock. I'm sure I can come up with something to prevent that.

We have some kind of varmint (worm) that is clipping the limbs off of all of our trees. They chew part way through about two feet from the end of the limb until it hangs down and dies. I'm off to see the Ag Agent tomorrow to try to find the cure.

Just went out to the kitchen. Ellen is baking a chocolate cake to go with the peach pies and cookies she has in the freezer. If those pies should happen to disappear, I probably won't get to come to the party. I probably will have death threats from other folks who have sampled the pie.

Addendum to Trip

The local paper for the Vermont area arrived and I see where Ted Whore Whittle came to the reunion from Tennessee. I think maybe Kim has some influence with the editor.
