I started a blog on a different site last year. With my work load and other personal issues (and painfully slow typing skills) I fell out of the blogosphere for a time. I'm hoping with this new site to continue, once again, to purge myself by writing of my love and frustration with this wonderful country that I live in.
 There have been many new frightening, disheartening and uplifting events over the past year. My next posts will try to cover, in no certain order of importance, my own personal feelings about as many as I can cover. Please bear with me as I'm just a tired, middle aged blue collar worker hoping that I can touch the hearts and minds of others who share my feelings of love, shock, shame, pride, confusion etc. of life in my beautiful United States of America.
