Sports… Mixed
weekend… On College Football the Gators won again and that makes the world
better; the Hurricanes also on and that was good… On the pros side it was a
mixed bag… The Dolphins and Giants managed to lose their games; the Bucs and
Lions won their games outright. Good show!
Local… My
hunting season is here… Muzzleloader season for deer started this past Saturday
and, although I have not been out there yet, I will be going hunting sometime this
week… Jan and I decided that, even though as a licensed hunter I am entitled to
take 14 deer (11 does and 3 bucks), and we usually consume three deer a year,
this season I will try to take four since we’ve found ourselves liking it more
and more…
Politics… We’ll be just fine! I am a firm believer that either one of these two gentlemen who may become President will do just fine; I’m convinced they both have the same goal: to make this country better; they only may differ on some details on how to achieve that goal, that’s all… You see, when all is said and done, we have a strong political system with enough checks and balances that would allow not one branch of government to overpower the other two and send the country into mayhem. And if things go really wrong, there are enough tools and mechanisms to change the rules of the game (we’ve changed it twenty seven times in the last 236 years, as needed). What I’d like to see is that, whoever wins, has the support of all 300 Million American to ensure that their policies and ways to govern got the very best of tries; if it works, there will be lots of happy people in this country; if it doesn’t work, we will wait another four years and start all over, as we’ve done it now close to 50 times…
Some trivia for you… The word ‘mayday’ used by air and sea vessels to broadcast imminent disaster comes from the French expression m’aidez – meaning help me – and it is pronounced, approximately, mayday.
Food for thought… “There's never been a problem Americans couldn't solve. We are the world's leaders, and leaders don't fear change.”
- John McCain, US Navy Officer, War Hero and US Senator
So, stay confident on our future, my friends…
