Welcome to the middle of the week –
Here we are with the summer heat coming on full blast (with occasional hail this week) … and this will go on through September I expect. But it seems we don’t hit the *really hot* weather in the summers like I remember when I went to summer school in the BJU Alumni Building w/out A/C or even a fan. Summertime even in the ‘upstate’ seems like it wants to do it’s best to make you sweat!
However… the winters don’t seem as cold as I remember them growing up in
It addition it’s the hot-air season just beginning to escalate as we approach the 2012 election. Funny thing… I don’t recall thinking 16 or 17 months ahead to the Christmas … but that seems to be what we do in these crazy days. You’d think the election is within say six weeks or so of being held. But that’s not the case. And once again the “line forms to the right…” at least most likely it’s to the right from the resume’s I’m able to pick out of the folks who have declared or are declaring.
You’ve known I gripe about it now for some time. I just think the campaigning as it has drifted into the ways in which it is being held today is designed to make people bored and tired and wishing the whole thing was over long before we get there.
Well… “if wishes were horses beggars would ride.” Or so the old saying goes. I guess we take what we can get from the system and thank the Lord for it. I certainly wouldn’t want to swap out our political situation for any of the Mediterranean countries that have been in the news for the last 12 months or so. Just looks like civil government has totally gone out of style – even in some of the European countries.
Well, better get on with it… finish writing up the setting and get this show in the process.
All the best – Cordially, IN HIM
