We're back home in Georgia after a fun 9 days of enjoying... indulging... ourselves with new sights, old friends, and fine dining a cross the South. Will catch up today and tomorrow. Today will be the ramblings and thoughts that i had while traveling.. spurred on by what we saw and observed..

Stupor-LIV's L-E "soundoff": "Since the Republican Congress cannot get any bills passed at this time to make their rich friends richer, they’re opening their hearts to our veterans. Hypocrites." --- "to make their rich friends richer".... "hypocrites"? Was there anything more hypocritical than electing non-business oriented politicians and expect them to run our country efficiently?

---
George Clooney...Mr Lib himself..is abandoning his luxury estate in England to move to LA because of increased Islamic terrorism in London. Hmmm, naturally,.Mr Open Borders wants a walled estate in LA so his family will be safer. Typical lib..do as we preach, not as do.

---
Columbus Water Works has a problem with the cascading fountain on River Road and the drainage below it. It must be vital as CWW assigned a huge work crew to work on it both Saturday and Sunday... they stopped working early in the afternoon without completing the work...well you would think it was so important to be worked on during a weekend that they would have finished it before leaving.

---
Random thought: Times...they have a changed...even the definition of racism is no longer based on the color of one's skin...no, now it's more dependent on an individual's attitude and lack of gratitude.

---
NYC Mayor Bill de Bl(_*_)io showed his (_*_)...again...he shunned the memorial to Officer Familia so he could attend a protest of President Trump at the G20 meeting in Germany. New Yorkers should call for his ousting

---
Mainscream media is America's worst enemy...If mainscream media had a commonality based on the truth, our politicians would be more inclined to work towards America's best interests all the time.

---
There oughta be a law! The ICC should require all cellphone companies to maintain a 4/5 bar-4G coverage on all Interstate Highways!

---
Charlie Gard...if you ever thought you saw merit in government control of your family's healthcare, this is your wake up call.

---
Having just driven I-20 to Texas, and intercity connectors between Waco, Austin and Dallas, it's obvious Obama could care less about our nations infrastructure.

---
Stopped at a Burger King in Monroe, LA...sales taxes totaled 10.5%...you know, I remember when a 10% TIP was a reward for decent service.

---
Between McGregor, TX and Temple, TX, we rode on a two-lane highway with a 75 MPH speed limit..didn't see the first cop..reckon the police felt that if you did speed, they'd figured they'd get a 911 call to come pick up the pieces

---
Fox News asked a contributor if mainscream media has a double standard about how it reports scandals about Democrats.. huh? I think we've totally lost Fox, now. I mean, when have the Democrats/mainscream media had ANY standards?

---
You know, racism is not about the color or race of other people, it's about your poor attitude about other people.

---
Observation: If you change nothing, nothing will change.

---
Let's take a moment to remember Charlie Cumiskey.. former Headmaster at Brookstone School years back.. an educator without peer... a supreme Breakfast Club member ..we shall miss him.

---
It's an absolute travesty, perhaps treasonous, when a lower court judge in Hawaii feels he is entitled to override the US Supreme Courts ruling on immigration restrictions.

---
If I was Trump, I do believe I'd issue an Executive Order repealing OObamaCRAP, and reinstituting the free market system. Then when Reps AND Dems brought me a new signable bill, I'd revoke my EO. After all, Obama himself created EO legislation knowing it would take years for a court to over turn it.

---
Waco is whacko...at least its politicians are..just got our bill for the last 3 nights, and each day,bin addition to the $8.06 in state daily sales taxes, and the $12.08 daily City taxes, we had an addition daily charge of $7.99 listed only as a service fee.I asked the clerk about it, and was told it was a fee for redevoloping historic downtown Waco. Hmmm, I thought..the next time you'll get me back is when historic downtown Waco is fully restored and this exorbitant fee has been revoked.

---
I swore the map on my GPS said Texas, but after being there I know it was Taxes mispelled.

---
Wanna know what's wrong with the Republicans? Well, 24 of them  voted against the military not paying for gender change procedures.

---
Racism....it's not about the color of one's skin, it's about the color of one's thoughts and words... and heart.

---
In case you missed it, that picture purported to possibly be Amelia Earhardt was actually a photo printed in a Japanese "Travelogue" 2 years before her lost flight.

---
Senator McCain underwent surgery..to remove a blood clot above his right eye...maybe it will clear up his vision so he can see RIGHT.,,,again.

---
Heard surgeons removed a blood clot over Sen McCain's eye...I was hoping they would remove that RINO clot in his brain.

---
Senator McCain...while there are plenty of other reasons he needs to be sent home from Washington, but his use of the Mayo Clinic rather than the Veterans medical options proves he's not really interested in helping vets get the medical services they deserve.

---
Went to the "6th Floor Museum" at Dealey Plaza while in Dallas..there were big blown up pictures of Americans waiting for Kennedy to arrive..a lot of the signs mentioned "JFK.. grassroot Democrats"..Bet there are no "grassroot Democrats" today who would vote for Kennedy in a Democrat primary.

---
We went to the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas. The grass was knee high. We asked "why" and were told it was part of a water conservation plan to use indigenous "prairie grass" . To me, it looked more like an appeasement to liberals. The grounds looked unkempt and uninviting. CUT THE GRASS, 43!

---
Nespresso? We had one of those machines in our Dallas hotel...it sucks as bad as George Clooney's political choices and opinions.

---
Never in my life have I seen my bride get as excited about coffee until she spotted a Duncan Donuts store on out way out if Dallas.. We spent 3 glorious mornings in a superlative hotel, and we got ZERO cups of good coffee.. Our room had a crappy Nespresso machine; coffee at their fine restaurant was lukewarm; and the "French Press" coffee brought up by room service was strong & thick enough to have been the star in a Heinz Ketchup "Anticipation" commercial.

---
When I was 16, the sight of toddler John-John Kennedy stepping out to the curb and saluting his father's casket as it rode slowly by brought a nation weepingly to its knees. Watching the video again this past weekend brought  tears back again.

---
You know, millennials really do not understand what socialism is really about so they feel they would like it. Now,.if we tell them that under Socialism, their iPhones would work only as efficient as OObamaCRAP, most millennials would understand why they really wouldn't like Bernie or Hellary as president.

---
I remember a time when it was illegal for lawyers to advertise their services other than in the Yellow Pages. Just drove across Alabama, and I think about half of the billboards were lawyers "fishing" for accident victims..especially big truck accident victims..you know, I'm going to bet some smarter lawyer is going to advertise he's hunting for a victim who had a wreck while distracted by those other lawyers' billboards.

---
My bride and I have been out of state for the past 9 days, and have missed it if the burned body in the back of that car has been identified.. at this point, I'd think the owner of the car should be identified, and get any info he/she might could add.

---
Trump needs to be recruiting candidates to run in Republican Senatorial and Representative primaries in 2018. If the RINOs who currently are obstructing legislative action know they will have to fight for re-election, they'll be more on board in helping Trump..Make America Great Again!

When in Austin, TX, we went and visited friends.. For all you Seniors out there, this will stir memories our younger friends will find perplexing... this was from the original McDonalds.. the red and white with the Golden Arches one,  on Macon Road.

It's now lovingly displayed... and used... at the home of one of the daughters of Marshall Raff who owned the original McDonald's franchise in Columbus
