Did any president, political party or government policy ruin my life? No, but read on for the real causes.
What were life setbacks and who was responsible? Leading up to the presidential election there were all sorts of accusations that candidates and their parties irreparably harmed me.

In Search Of A Political Walking Partner
As we enter 2024 and the dreaded national election in November, I’ve been intrigued with the idea of walking up and down the Main Street of my town wearing a Biden shirt with someone who is wearing a Trump shirt.

Got me to thinking there should be a 3 column litmus test to match up the following: What they accomplish What they get credit for Who theyContinue reading “Give credit where credit is due”
Anything can be accomplished with ENOUGH !!!
It’s an odd title for a blog so here’s my explanation: ENOUGH as used here means bringing to bear sufficient resources (i.e, money, manpower, equipment, whatever it takes) to accomplish the task at hand, usually this pertains to a challenge previously considered unsolvable or overwhelming.
