I know the climate is changing. This has been true since God created it. If we pay enough money to create a panic for us, someone will accept our money and create one. Follow the science.

Free Speech
I am conservative. I was very disappointed when Donald Trump was not reelected. There was clearly voter fraud going on. I don't believe the election would have been different without the fraud though. Also there is likely voter fraud in every election. I would like to see voting made better. That is, every person gets 1 vote. No bulk voter stuff.
Now to the free speech. Officials should be concerned about voter fraud, but when conservatives suggested that there was fraud, liberals only called them names like 'election denyers', MAGA, right wing conspiracy theorists, etc. It seems that every American should want fair and honest elections.
More about free speech. We have had too much racist stuff happen in the last few years. It has now become racist to talk about justice. Differences of opinion should be celebrated and even debated without name calling. I am grateful for conservative folks that are of a different 'race' or background than I have. They refuse to label every caucasian as a racist and suggest that I do not have to label myself as one either.
Major institutions that should be for free speech have become against it. Education and Media are two that have the most negative impact on free speech, but entertainment and social media companies are also major problems.
I will continue to pray for our nation.

Why we celebrate this day off
70 years ago yesterday, my mom started labor. To commemorate such an important event as labor before my birth, it was declared that it would be called "Labor Day", and thus most had a paid holiday yesterday. You should thank my mom.
Birthday thoughts - You are gaining on me
You are gaining on me: here is the math. Let's say I was 19 when you were born. So when you were 1 year old, I was 20 years old.. That made me 20 times older than you. Then, When you were 10, I would have been 30 made me only 3 times older than you...you're gaining on me. Then, when you were 20 and I was 40, I was only 2 times older than you. Certainly, you will catch me soon.

Riding my Harley motorcycle 08/22/16
Today we went for a ride. On the way we passed a field of fresh cut alfalfa. The smell was so sweet, I hoped that I was not breathing in too many calories. The field looked like a freshly mowed lawn. I noticed the shadow on the road to my left, trying ever so to keep up with me. I stole a glance as often as I could, since the shadow included my precious passenger’s hair flowing in the artificial breeze. We came to a pasture, with horses scattered about. It seemed that the main difference between a finely manicured corporate lawn and the horse pasture was a few thistle plants strewn about in place of the Juniper plants in the corporate lawn. Both contain expertly trimmed grass. We passed through trees on our way. They seemed to be carved out as a tunnel especially for my enjoyment. The oxygen saturation level must have been in excess because it felt refreshing to my lungs, nose...and throughout my being. Then, passing some volunteer clover next to the road produced a sweet smell such that I wanted to stop and steal a container full of the air for later, when life became so busy that I would not have time to enjoy this gift. Brenda pointed to the sculpture of the fluorescent white clouds in contrast to the deep blue sky.
I sat at Target on Alpine ave, waiting for Brenda. Seemed a bit long until God gave me a rainbow, for my viewing pleasure. Brenda wasn’t too long after all.
