I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Anyone watch, listen to the INterfaith Service in Boston this morning - beautiful, truly inspiring. Our President spoke, and he was eloquent, as expected.  I think we are blessed to have his leadership - love, love hearing him speak.  Deval Patrick was good too, but all were in the shadows compared to President Obama.

Oh Blue, I just love that pic of Succulents! I spent the last 2 months planning my succulent container gardens with these type of pictures. They are so beautiful all planted together. Thank you for sharing them.

Talk about a Bozo Brigade, Blue.  I sit there and watch a guy who looks as though he is ready to jump out of his chair and take cover.  It is a most remarkable thing to see as someone is so heavy into the belief of what they are saying.  All those bridges you might have forgotten about....we can sell them now. 

Hoping our rain will let up soon.  We were under tornado threat for a few hours today, but hae come through it all.  We live by a huge, huge man made drinking water lake which took place back in the late 40's.  This means all water from anywhere around is set up to drain right to the lake. 

Fortunately, since it was that long ago....we stand fairly tidy.  All the drainage comes out to two big ravines...one on each side of my house.  I probably have one of the "driest" places in the entire city and county.  Once in awhile I choose right.  Sure glad I chose to move here.

Sun...I am so with you.  I did hear most of the President's speech.  I was at work but had the t.v., on.  He was VERY eloquent and I feel must have raised the spirits of so many of the Bostonians with what he said.  I was proud of him and proud of Boston.

I saw a comparison on one news show yesterday.  In 20 years or so, approximately 3000 Americans died from terrorists.    Meanwhile more than 900,000 people have died from gun violence in the approximately same period of time. So we take off shoes to be searched and can't carry water when flying on a plane.  I couldn't walk my elderly parents to their flights after 9-11 because I didn't have a ticket and I couldn't go through security.  And god forbid your name should be a terrorist watch list.   Someone had used the late Ted Kennedy's name as a alias at one point making it difficult for the well-know Senator to get on a flight.   But I can just walk into a gun show, show no i.d. to enter and buy an AK-47 with no check of my name, no check on anything.  I could hand over cash with no questions and get an assault rifle. 

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Athena ... it seems you will have to petition to change the Bible also.  Just saw yet another idiot screaming about his GOD given right to his guns.  I don't even attempt to point out that they may be a tad bit confused.  It's hopeless

I know it's hopeless....

We have repealed amendments before. We have accomplished the hopeless before. I have never not voted for what I believe in because it was hopeless. Otherwise Obama might not be our president.

OK, off to watch Project Runway....
