Musings

It's a strange world when both Duke and NC BB teams get beat on the same night. It's also strange when a Republican candidate wins in Massachusetts. The spin on Brown's win is crazy. He ran a great campaign and his opponent didn't. I'm one of those who think that the despicable behavior of the Democratic leadership incensed the electorate to vote to stop the steamrolling. What happened to the promised transparency in government? You can take the politicians out of Chicago, but you can't take the Chicago out of the politicians. You may figure by now that I'm not a supporter of the Presidents domestic policies. We are Libertarians and we think this country has lost its way and it's not just the Democrats. The founding fathers warned us of developments that would threaten our republic. A powerful federal government topped the list. Government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take it all away.
My partner and I bid two small slams the other night - made one. Love that game.
We'll be gone for several weeks but we'll stay in touch.

I'm Ready To Go

Ocracoke has had some cold weather these last few weeks. Not so cold by other climes, 27 to 36 degrees F, but kind of brisk by local standards. Six months ago we booked four weeks in Aruba. That's the month of February.
This is the very first blog. Hang with me, I am going to post some comments every few days.
Thank you!
