December Notes

It's been almost a month since this post was updated.  It's not like a lost month - it's been a busy month.

Observations -

The ongoing political games continue.

I couldn't help but notice that POTUS blew into Salt Lake City, signed some papers reclaiming land "for the people" and taking it away "from the people" - the "adjustments" to national monuments.

He flew in, signed papers, and flew out.

It's a real shame he doesn't have the patience to understand this country.    Had he taken a few hours, flown in our government's aircraft down to the monuments, actually gotten out of the helicopters, had a little dust end up on his Gucci shoes, and then taken a Jeep ride into the outback, coupled with a quick low-level fly over of the Grand Canyon - he might appreciate this country more.   It's more than concrete and steel and glistening gold.

He ain't got a clue what it's all about.

Morning Joe, just his morning, talked about how New York City developers don't negotiate, they demand - if the demands aren't met they take their money and move on.  That's what the Donald is doing - hub-ub this and hub-ub that - if he carries the day, he's winning.  If he doesn't carry the day, fold the cards and move on to something else. 

There's no big picture of what this country and the people who inhabit our lands are all about.  Because, it's all about him.  SAD!

As I recently visited the FDR monument in Washington, DC - only a short distance from the government housing that Trump now occupies at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue -

I thought to myself:  "He should come down here sometime and walk around - stop and listen.




 He should walk over to the Vietnam War Wall and look for names that he might recognize 




and the Korean War monument, what a more timely time than now


and then look at the huge MLK statue - and just think.

He can't do that.  He's not big enough to think of our country.  Because, it's all about him.  SAD!

Anyway - after DC it was on to the beaches of Mexico near Puerto Vallarta.  We made it down and back, didn't see a wall - and came back ready and refreshed for the holiday season.

Only to be overwhelmed with more talk and blabber from DC.

YIKES!
