Nice!
Hope all had a good day.
While we missed going to Baja this week, the wife and I had a nice day at the pool and were just relaxing.

I watched the Independence Day show on PBS last night and I thought it was great. So many talented artist. The lady with the violin act was something
else, really fantastic.

Howard got me. Now corrected.

The English language, amazing what one little letter will do.

Now that's pretty funny. How upset was that violinist?

to deny that the US was founded on slavery and genocide is just ignorant.
most of the suburban-raised americans were raised on a real crock of s##t
regarding the early history of the country.
i recently viewed a video of my grandson reciting the pledge of allegiance to receive a free ice cream cone.
my allegiance to the US fizzled while in viet nam, and has continued to diminish since. if you dare, read..

To deny the US hasn't lifted more people out of poverty than any other country in the history of mankind is utter ignorance. Nothing is perfect, and Monday quarterbacking over 200 years is worse than ignorant.

Love this Country , not so much the Government..... (note, not a jab at Trump. I'm talking about the whole capitalist system )

I think that most Vietnam Vets don't feel so kindly towards the Government.

It's ALL about the money ...............Well, and power....

OPINION

Like it says at the top of the page in big bold letters.

I'm sure many would disagree. Especially African-Americans.

Yeah that opinion piece is laughable, and I doubt most Blacks, Latinos, or Asians would agree with it, especially since all those groups continue to vote democrat is high numbers, and see the GOP party has hostile to them.

There is still not the fact very few blacks and Latinos get into colleges like UCLA mentioned in the opinion piece, and although Asians do get into those kinds of colleges, they rarely are allowed to become part of senior management.

Very nice Jim... We are going to Sequoia Nat'l Park next month for our daughter's wedding. It should be very nice, even if it is the opposite direction from Baja!
