Daylight Savings Time ended this a.m. so everything is kind of weird BUT the sun is shining on the mountains and making them look so good! That makes everything ok.
Well, I sure wish the election was over and way beyond anything close. I'm tired of being represented at the 'world level' by a pussy grabbing a**hole! Where we live there are SO MANY Trump flags; I cannot understand how anyone can support such a fool. But, I guess I don't understand a lot of things: chemistry for example. Anyway, I sure hope we get a new President.
I imagine I've said it before but I sure wish that we weren't choosing between two guys in their 70's. I'm 72 and I think I'm slowing down. I think the "Leader of the Free World" should be younger. Not like really young but maybe in the 50's. And I'd like them to have some experience in government at the national level; like Congress. I believe that being in the government is different from being in the corporate world or anywhere else. Knowing how to talk with the people you are working with; or who are working for you, is important. Having someone from 'millionaire row' being President means that he or she doesn't have a clue about what really happens in the government (have you noticed that lately?). It would be like me becoming the mayor of our town; I don't have a clue about how much the Roads department needs or the Police or the Parks.
Someone sent me a PDF about how the Chinese are doing so much better than we in the US. It talked about Chinese railroads, dams, bridges, roads, etc. First of all, they do have a country that needs lots of upgrading and they can finally afford it however, it is certainly true that the infrastructure in the US needs upgrading. Anyone who has driven I-70 in Colorado knows that! Not to mention things like the dam in Michigan that washed away. I'm sure there are plenty more that could use upgrading. Then there is the whole sustainable energy problem. Sticking our collective heads in the sand and saying global warming is a 'lie' won't work for us in the long term. It's about as true as saying the coronavirus isn't anything to worry about.
My wife and I are planning our next trailer trip. It's going to be a biggie - 3 or 4 nights in Las Vegas! Yeah, well, we go to Vegas every week or ten days but we never take the time to see the sights. There are actually some interesting places and we just never take the time to visit them; this time we will. And it will give the dog some time in the trailer which he needs. He won't learn about it if we don't take him. Anyway, I should have a few Vegas photos next time.
Gotta go. This 1st day of November is zooming away. Take care & keep washing those hands!
