A Gold town.

Politics, Uncategorized / March 12, 2019

Palm Sunday, a very special day. With greater things to come.

Drove through Norwich today.  The town of Norwich, not Northfield which is the home of “Norwich” University. Norwich University used to be in the town of Norwich but its Cadets just could not get along with the boys from Dartmouth.  School pride , drunken brawls and not in the least,  competition  over available female companionship. Remember, these were schools exclusively for men.

Dartmouth was there first.  Norwich moved.

The town of Norwich easily survived the loss of its namesake University which prospers to this day under its name in the town of Northfield.

Norwich is a “GOLD” town, a bedroom community of Hanover N.H. and solidly Democrat.  Real estate is a-half million and up.  A lot of people doing VERY well. They have the best police force money can buy and that 25mph speed limet is just what it says.  Saw several political lawn signs.  Some for Bernie, some for Hillary. None for any Republican.

Maybe these people feel guilty being in that upper 20%.  They’re just not taxed enough,  and if they’re going to pay, damn it everyone has to pay.

No one questions wither you have more then your “fair share” if you belong to the party of the “little guy”, the environment , illegal immigration, abortion rights etc.   Your conscious will be clear.  The media will never rebuke you.  And your party leaders will do the thinking for you.

And your safe and sound inside your gold town.

And Remember, Caitlyn Jenner became persona-non- grata when “she” came out of the closet…for TED CRUZ!

And no one cares that Tom Steyer  made his billions in coal.

Maybe Norwich would be a good place to locate refugees . We can’t let Europe have all the fun.

Harriet
 

Disclaimer:  Although the loss of a pet is in no way equal to the loss of a family member or friend, Harriet was a member of our family for over nine years. We brought her home from the Human Society. Exactly how old she was we don’t know.  She was a good kitty, and we’ll miss her.

The first post.

I have always marveled from the fact that it was only a mere 66 years from the Wright Brothers first flight to landing on the Moon. Of course the main catalyst for such rapid advancement can be summed up in one word, ‘WAR’. War, even more the capitalism focuses human ingenuity to develop new and more effective methods to destroy your enemy before your enemy can devise better ways to destroy you. War technology spins off to peacetime technology and what was science fiction to one generation is commonplace in the next. The fact that I’m sitting right now at a keyboard typing out text that will go out on the “internet” that people all over the world will be able to read is but one example.

The purpose of this blog is to chronicle some history of an extremely ordinary person. Me. And to convey some prospective to todays millennials of which I have two. What was it like to grow up in the fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties with no internet, computers, cellphones etc. and the political and social changes that have taken place during that time.

I will be also commenting on current events happening today.
And what’s going on today is not pretty.
