Good morning. Happy Wednesday or as working people would call it, HUMP DAY. We had a little rain off and on overnight. I think it should stop tomorrow/today. We'll be somewhat warm, 84°, however it is that time of the year where I should be able to get by without the air conditioner running. The humidity will be tolerable, with overnight temperatures cooling down, the house does not remain hot. That being said, I do have the new air conditioner in a position to activate it within about 5 minutes. I have no real plans for today and will be playing it by ear. I am planning on going for a constitutional to get some exercise later today. I miss my jog in the middle of the night but I have found out it is counterproductive in keeping one's back in good shape. Every so often I am out for a long constitutional and am tempted to start jogging. However, being it is daylight, I am also dissuaded from doing so in case other joggers approach and pass me by like I'm standing still. I sometimes get the idea that I do not have the same condition that I had when I was 21 years old. HUMBUG! If I think of it, maybe I shall attend church this morning. Besides the religious aspect, it is good to hear conversations with real people and not just a television set. Sometimes I even join in.
Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
When I was a kid, I couldn't understand why Eisenhower was so popular. Maybe this will explain why..
General Eisenhower Warned Us.
It is a matter of historythat when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect
'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some #@#$% will get up and say that this never happened'
This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated' while many in the world looked the other way!
Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
This e-mail is intended to reach 400 million people! Be a link in the memorial chain and help distribute this around the world.
How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center
'NEVER HAPPENED',
Because it offends some Muslims???
Do not just delete this message; it will take only a minute to pass this along.
Remember when all classrooms had an American flag in them?
Do they even teach our children about the World Trade Center attacks in 1993 and 2001, or did it go the way of Pearl Harbor and Veterans Day?
Don't even mention Christmas or prayers in school.
Good morning. Monday has arrived and I am intact from my attendance at a function. Now I can concentrate on my appearance tomorrow at the eye doctor. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Comments Live I have been off the Hill for a while because I have after much prayer, and conversations with my children, have decided to down size. This has been a heart wrenching decision for me as with many folks my age. Our place( my late Bob) and I built this retirement home on a beautiful lake in the mts. of Tn. and lived here for 31 years. My health has not been the best for a couple of years and our 4 acres and house has gotten too much for me to handle. It is so hard to get hired help one can depend on, so it is time for younger folks to take over the joy of living here. I will be writing a blog occasionally to record my progress. Hope this coming week is a good one for you. Anne
