HEAR THE DEPARTURE WHISTLE NOW -- Just a MinuteRadio.blogspot.com

You can almost smell the smoke in the air of burning leaves – it’s almost Autumn.

 

No it isn’t!

 

 – Dry weather is making the leaves fall off some of the trees and lawns take a shade of brown.  But folks have been watching what they catch of the games in London (which in some ways is a lot of empty seats – making one wonder if Mr. Romney wasn’t right that LONDON wasn’t quite ready for the games.

 

But we won’t hold that against them. Just don’t hold grudges. (J) Today’s the day Mike Huckabee – former governor of Arkansas and contestant for President four years ago. (Unfortunately found out Mr.McCain had more votes if not more friends – at least that’s how it turned out. So we’re back in an election cycle again and who knows when or where we come out?

 

Today Barbara and I do plan to take our noon(ish) meal at the Hampton Village Shopping Center’s Chick-fil-A restaurant just because we want to help them show family strength at the Chicken bar… and maintain a neighborly helping hand when someone else tries to paint Mr. Cathy and friends into a corner. So Chick-fil-A didn’t ask us to visit them – we just decided to do it and you’re welcome to join us if you care to.. It’s a low key – low budget ‘assist’ on our part.  Just a small way to lend a helping hand (small as it is) to a family that has taken a stand and one which we support.

 

Well…no need to lean on it. The other side is going to try and make August 3^rd an anti-Chick-Fil-A day… I think it’ll just show how far off the mark they are…  but who knows? And it’s a free country – just be nice about it – don’t try “proving” something. We already know who you are and what you stand for….we can take all that knowledge on board without sinking I think. (J)

 

Time’s up for today. See you tomorrow.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

 ‘“JUST A MINUTE”

HEAR THE DEPARTURE WHISTLE NOW

            Just a Minute:  The last hundred days before judgment are playing out. The nominating conventions are before us and we’re finally coming around the bend to the finish line – and I say ‘none too soon.’ The President is going to ask one of his least liked Democrat colleagues, Bill Clinton, to speak the nominating speech. It would normally be done by the Vice President. It’s just one more ‘odd-ball thing’ for a sitting president to do.

          New York’s Mayor Michael Bloomberg, has thrown cold water on his fellow mayors in Boston, Chicago and San Francisco; so Barbara and I will participate in eating a Chicken sandwich at Hampton Village agreeing with Mayor Bloomberg who said it’s foolish to try and run Chick-fil-A out of town before they even get there.  

          Who ever thought a chicken sandwich could fire up a conflagration? But it’s election time and strange things are known to happen -- often. Just ask former President Jimmy Carter. We’ll look for you all tomorrow at Earl ‘n’ Lester’s Bait Shop and Sushi Bar on the Caroliner line, where interesting discussions often happen on Wednesdays.
