In Memory of Carol Ann

Dedicated to Erin Elizabeth and Deanna Carol


Any society that would give up a little liberty for a little security deserves neither and will lose both.

January 20,2020

January 20, 1265 is noted as the first meeting of English Parliament also 1937 the First time U.S. Presidents  are sworn into office after passing 20th Amendment. Including Donald J Trump in 2017. Since 1986 we have celebrated M.L.K. Day as a holiday for federal workers. To many Americans this M.L.K. Day is observance of Martin Luther King. To other Americans it's a signal there will be 6 more months of basketball. Many Americans are expected to just take a knee to get even with N.F.L. In 2020 the titans of cable news are focused on the Democratic Primary Hopefuls and the Impeachment Hearing in the Senate. History will remember this process as little more than a drive by shooting from the US House of Representatives. Over the pond  Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex have pulled out of the Royal Family and quit their posts as Royal Representatives of Great Britain. Stateside Burger King has offered the Prince a post as King Of Burger King. The Canadians have offered them titles of Lord  and Lady Doublewide.  Work like this is hard to get..Very hard for most of us commoners to fathom quiting such a cush job with the Queen. The Grass is Always Greener elsewhere. For me I have sworn off broadcast television until a more favorable news cycle interests me. Once the Super Bowl is over and the Impeachment Trial in the Senate completes I fear there will be precious little entertainment for me outside of Streaming on Netflix The endless paid political commercials will continue until crescendo at the  November Elections. After the election we can expect 2 years of campaign collections mixed with other bickering over the failed election complaints from the losers. I'm Looking forward to 4 more years of Trump and a New Speaker in the House..... Happy Trails
