6/17 Now I’ve heard everything, they are disarming Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam!  Can you believe it.  I am no NRA supporter and firmly believe we need more gun control laws. Why do you need an AK-47?, just because you can? By the way, Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima are also retiring.  That’s fine with…

6/12 Home here in VA, watched the news for the first time and watched the confederate Tate’s being forcibly taken down by protesters with the police standing by.  I don’t know how I feel about it.  Originally I thought that there should be a history attached to the statues explaining the lost cause of the…

6/9 I’ll give him credit for addressing the nation, which he did.

It’s mostly about the East, the Russian led side.  It travels to America and back again, following a young girls journey until adulthood. Anyway there are a…

5/10 Watching the news is so depressing. This whole Corona virus and most of the nation out of work and businesses closing. There are no easy answers. One of the things that upset me the most is the violence associated with wearing face masks. People have died, been murdered, trying to enforce this simple rule.…

5/8/20 Random Thoughts on Politics I just saw on tv that one of Virginia’s senators, Amanda Chase, is backing a planned protest at the state capital and encouraging protesters to attend a “safe rally.”  What does that mean.
