Today was a hot day, 98 in the shade!!!!!!! Tomorrow, 104! Too much, thank goodness for AC. My portable AC is working like a charm so far. I'm glad I bought it. I don't do well in the heat.
I spent some time today reflecting on being an American. I may bitch allot about our politicians and our poorly run government, but it is still the best country in the world, (although I love Canada too). The older I get though the more of my freedoms and rights I see diminished. We live in a violent world with radical people who are more than willing to sacrifice their own life to take another. The world has always known these types. They are not new to history. It is the technology they use that makes them so much more dramatic and dangerous. This does not however in my opinion justify the President and the Government to whittle away at our freedoms in the name of our protection. In the battle between safety and the preservation of our democracy and freedoms I will take democracy and freedom any day. On this day of celebration of our independence let us not forget that this country was founded on freedom and our fathers and their fathers died to ensure those freedoms for us. Let us not dishonor their memories by allowing our government to take from us what those that came before us fought so hard to earn and maintain. God bless America!!!
Spoke with Robert, Mom and Maggie today and they were all well. Rainy 4th in NY.
Gotta get going.
peace
