Hello Again…
It’s a pleasant enough Wednesday since the rains have come – and boy did they come. Something over two inches in two days at our house. Which managed to get into the garage and make two cardboard boxes wet on the bottoms.
But we’re happy to put up with some of that when we needed the rain so much!
And the mood I detect out of
Up to now I had seen him as a rather un-emotional fellow – but apparently my suggestion of a new idea (at least to him) hit a nerve and I had a jolly old time getting him to dismount from his high-horse. He had mounted quickly and if I had given him the chance he would have gladly ridden off in all directions. Maybe he did… I’ll find out in a week or so. Meantime other blogs carry headlines – 99 days of bad ideas. That’s the term we faced yesterday before the November elections come around.
I think we all could face this in better humor if we had not been ‘campaigning’ in sorts since January 20th or so of 2009 when the Obama Administration took the reins formally. Since then it’s been rather up hill and down dale… and the road gets long and dusty when you see no turning. Hopefully there will be a turning.
As someone has said when you realize you’re on the wrong road the shortest distance to the goal you are headed for is to turn around and go back. I don’t know exactly just how that plays out in politics… but it strikes me there are a lot of people out there looking for the shortest way back.
The trouble is… there’s no way to “Unring the bell.” Not to say repair work cannot be done – or that all hope is lost – but it’s going to be a lot steeper climbing back up the hill than it was sliding down the slippery slope. Meantime… just remember if you’re going to be campaigning for a friend … or against a political person on the other side… do it with good humor… Someone says “Speak softly… the words are more tender when you have to eat them.” Sounds reasonable to me.
Have a good day.—and see you Friday D.V.
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack
