Yesterday I saw a quote by FDR and saw that for the most part He and I agreed. When I posted it, I changed the color of the text and it printed black on a black page. I changed it this AM and I apologize for the delay. I hope it was just on my computer but in a was it was a blank page that contained a silent statement that there is little in today's world that I and the Democrats agree upon.
I think the USA is wealthy enough to reach out and help our poor do better. I am a little more on the side of helping them reach their goals tomorrow by hard work rather than feeding them a lot today. I lived in an 8X38 ' trailer as I went to school. I also lived in a one bedroom apartment for a while. We lived not quite a Spartan existence but it wasn't lavish either. We paid for our own education and are proud of our accomplishments. I wonder what it would have been like if we had just borrowed our way there.
Never mind, that wasn't the subject I wanted to write about today. As I have said, Dave is staying here with his three cats. While I have wanted to hear the pitter-patter of little feet, I never expected it to be the thumping of kitten feet at 7 AM. Pixel wakes up full of kitten energy and goes on a wild chase with the female cat for at least an hour. How much noise can a kitten make? Not to the level of wild elephants, but enough... I was just paid a visit by the female cat and now notice all the hair on my keyboard. I am sure that there is a series of new ventilation holes on the chair where she jumped up to get attention.
A lot of us in the Heartland were thrilled to see the Royals do their magic last night and defeat San Francisco 10-0. I for one would rather see them score only 5 runs then and another 5 tonight in game 7. We'll see. I was channel surfing early in the game and watching NCIS and missed the big 2nd inning. At least I know a couple of my friends were at the game and I hope they enjoyed the game. One of them was a secretary that I worked closely with. Right after she retired, she went to the Doctor and had some major surgery done. It was pretty much touch and go for a while and I am thrilled to see that she is now doing well. Go Royals. After all, there was a sign that said BBQ is greater than Rice-a-roni.
It got pretty close to freezing for the first this fall last night. I saw that there are plants on the deck with a blanket on them. Barb was sure that it wouldn't freeze but a frost was possible. I did notice that a lot of the remaining tomatoes and a pepper or two got picked yesterday. There are a few Asian Pears on the trees and There is at least a couple of bushels in the garage. I will start feeding them to the deer in a week or two. That and a little chopped corn never hurt any deer that I know.
Better get running and see if there isn't a few disasters to mitigate.
