Just heard a statement I really liked....

"The difference between ballast and baggage, 

One holds you down,

The other holds you back."

Ooooh, I like that thought. It makes you consider where you are going in your life.

There's an election

 What would happen if they gave an election and nobody came?

Wouldn't that be a statement from the everyday, middle-of-the-road voter? We don't like any of you politicians. Find someone better for the ballot.

I wonder of the Republican party will smarten up in the next 4 years and find someone that could possibly be acceptable. Not extreme, not crazy, no weird statements, just a regular person. 

I doubt it. Or, that it will ever get better.

Time in Flight

That's what it seems like.

Interesting to read back on commentary from over 16 years ago. So much has changed.

Random thoughts

I miss my husband so much. He's been taken away from this world now for about a year and a half. I never realized how very lonely it would be. I can live on my own, I'm very capable, but it's just not the same. Sigh....

Does anyone remember the phrase: "Is it live or is it Memorex?"

We now need to ask... Is it real or is it AI? There's a juicy discussion for you!

If I keep this short, maybe I'll do this more, I guess this is the answer to journaling.

It's 2016! Whew! Where has the time gone since 2008? So much has happened, so much has changed, and it all feels like yesterday.

Kansas budget dominates the conversation today by everyone, but the state legislators. They should all turn in their pointy hats and get rid of Brownback. How can anything be more important than getting our state on the financial straight and narrow? Right now it's on the path to bankruptcy, very quickly. Yet, our great statesmen and women are much more worried about discrimination against gun owners, and women (not men, by the way)wearing a revealing outfit while testifying to our great legislature...shades of 1950.

My snit for the day. I'll fill in the last 8 year gap as I go along. It will be good for my memory skills.
