Here is what I have to say about THAT....

"THAT" is the subject of the day. Today it is all about starting this blog. Now..I am sure you are not as nervous reading it as I am writing it! I have been told by several folks that I should write and now that I am here doing it, I just have one thing to say to them..."EASY FOR YOU TO SAY..." lol! Seriously, I love my friends for their encouragement and support and if all goes well, I thank them from the bottom of my heart. If it does not, then, of course, it is all THEIR fault and all nasty comments about my blog WILL be forwarded to them. Seems only fair to me.

I am 63 years old. I am from Texas. This tells you that I have lived long enough to have seen a lot of changes in this country and have lived long enough to have developed an opinion on just about everything and am not shy about expressing them. Now, whether my opinions rise to the definition of "wisdom", I don't know. They are just what I think or feel, based upon the information I have at the time and through life experiences. Thing is..they are MINE. They are not yours. I cannot speak for you. I will share mine with you...and you can share yours with me. Yours do NOT have to agree with MINE. It is the 23rd of August, 2010...9:10PM EDT, and as far as I know, we still enjoy "freedom of speech" in this country. This means I can say what I think and feel...and so can you..and neither one of us has to agree with the other. It's wonderful, no? Now, what I will NOT allow in "Comments" are threats..those WILL be reported. I will NOT allow harsh profanity...and please, try to stay on topic and not dis anyone else's comments. Address the topic, tear it apart if you want, but not each other. I think that is called civility and respect. I expect that here.

Ok, it is late. Tomorrow I begin in earnest, with a REAL topic. In today's world there are a million to choose from, but I am all about what is happening in America and doing what I can to STOP it.

God bless OUR America..and God bless you.
