Month: April 2016

Its been almost five decades since that class trip to Washington D.C.. It was an eye opener for many of us who had never really ventured out of northern New England. My Aunt and Uncle had taken me to Fenway park the year before. That was my first exposer to a really big city, but this was a totally different experience entirely.

During the bus trip down the eastern seaboard it seemed like one big city from New York to Baltimore. When we got into the city limits of Washington we saw for the first time the Washington we never read about in our school books.

Washington D.C. Is a “Black” city. African America people everywhere. Coming from lily white Vermont where seeing a black person was an anomaly the reverse was true for Washington D.C. Then we noticed the litter…everywhere. The businesses all had iron bars across the front of their windows and doors. It seemed that every forth establishment was a liquor store.

We arrived at our hotel. Our tour of the Federal government portion of Washington would start tomorrow. Things would start smoothly and later it would get a little wild.

To be continued.

10 degrees and snowing this morning. This is what happens When you do a tire change over before May day.

Just a very brief post to let everyone know that where I live it’s damn cold for this time of year.

I remember a special day. The 4th of April 92′. On that day the air was warm. the grass was green, the sky was blue, the leaves were out, the birds were singing. It was a life changing event for me and the day was perfect.

24 years later you would think it would be like living in South Carolina by now. Not!

Hope it’s warmer wherever you are.

I started this blog as pretty much a lark. Something intellectually simulating as I get none at my day job. My hope is that the few people who come across it will find it interesting, entertaining, sometimes provocative.
I’m still very much the amateur at this and I’m very fortunate to have an in-house expert to help me with it.
I’ve had the recommended links move to the side for more visibility. I hope that after viewing my efforts you will click to see the blogs I go to. And try to aspire to. More will be added as time goes on.
I have a lot more to say. The number of people who read my words is not the point. The fact that in this country I’m still allowed to say it. For now.
