A Berkshire Hillbilly

This season has been good to us, we have much to be grateful for. I hope it is as good for you.

Sometimes Life just reaches out and grabs you. Can we afford to be so casual about it? Can we afford to be so trusting?

Last night NPR - that bastion of Leftist Defeatism and Liberalism - presented a discussion between three noted Republicans. The topic? How did we get HERE from THERE? You can listen to the show as a Pod Cast. And/Or listen to my take on it.

Another 45-second Religious treatise. And not a word said about God! Not a church mentioned! Maybe it isn't about religion at all? Just semantics?

Many things are vitally important to us. What is most important, though, is that we continue. To continue, we must survive. Something is threatening that, today, and it has yet to make a splash in the headlines. Hope that it does not.

This seems to be the third leg on my stool - rambling. With some political overtones. The first warm days of the year are accompanied by showers of blossoms and fear-mongering liars. I guess if Congress and the Administration are both in session ... misery loves company.
Enjoy the picture I took of a small clump of daffodils.

One really must wonder, at times, what sort of reality some folks inhabit. Do they act, or not, out of well-considered intentions? Or simply in the vain hope that "Things Will Get Better"? It only took two hours for things to get far from better at VT, this morning. How many wishful thoughts were shattered by the first, then the second, series of gun-shots - most aimed at people the gunman could not have known that well.

Welcome to my first solo pod-cast. A short commentary backed by a quiet tune. And a message I didn't realize was so divisive.
