A couple of posts ago was about the so-called Republican plan to change Social Security. It is championed by Congressman Ryan. As I mentioned in that previous post this new social security is supposed to empower seniors to… Read More
The above cartoon kind of mirrors what I think of the Obama administration to date. I actively supported his candidacy for president based on his rhetoric during the campaign. He said he was for change and I think the… Read More

Here is another cross post with my blog “All I Know”. I couldn’t decide where to put it so I am posting it at both sites. I have a birth certificate that says I was born in Indianapolis… Read More

It wasn’t the end of the world just the end of Oprah.
Here is one in Staunton Virginia near the Frontier Culture Museum. If you are ever in the area the museum is well worth the visit.
It seems I am drawn by bronze statues of people lately🙂 Anyway here is one of Minnie Pearl from the Grand Ole Opry. Her most famous line was ”How-dee!!! I’m just so proud to be here! I was not… Read More
I must admit up front that I have never been much of a country music fan. The folk music of Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Peter, Paul & Mary consumed my music tastes during my earlier hearing years. But… Read More

I see where Indiana’s Governor just signed a law to take another layer of healthcare away from those who cannot afford to pay on their own. He is de-funding Planned Parenthood because up to 3% of what they do is… Read More

Here is a pretty good place to eat that is just down the road from the USS Wisconsin in the previous post. It is pretty much “old school” but well maintained and seemed to have a pretty good… Read More
This is the final post on looking for the U.S. number one export. Maybe I am just an idealistic dreamer but I am hoping that this one is our actual number one export. Is there a commodity that… Read More
Here is one of the final destinations on our trip in April of this year. Since my great-grandmother was a Shawnee squaw I have a definite interest in native american culture and history. In some ways I value… Read More
This looked like a working farm but I couldn’t figure out the white fence.
OK, here is another shot at trying to decide what we in the U.S. are true experts about and therefore export more of than any other country. I don’t claim to be a sage about this sort of thing… Read More
