Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Getting Back on Track in Reference to The Republic

From my friend Pam McKinney from Angel's Camp, California. 
She is a devout Christian Mother of two grown children and a firm believer in The Constitution as it was written and die hard conservative. 
  • We have one shot to get this train back on the right track....VOTING OUT OBAMA. I am not a fan of Romney, however, he IS the GOP candidate and he IS our only hope to get the phony-in-chief out of here. There are a lot of Ron Paul's beliefs I agree with, some not so, however, America has evolved since 1776 and there has to be some tweaking when a nation grows. But, America must stop at tyranny, socialism (entitlements), life-choking rules & regulations (EPA), excessive taxation. Why do we insist on a govt budget? To know how much to collect from the citizens to pay the necessary bills! (military, roads, and post offices) I do not espouse "Republican views" just to be Republican. I am a true "republican" in the sense that all men are created equal, we all have the same God-given rights to be free (and that means free from a taxing, law-threatening, dictatorial govt, too), but we MUST live within boundaries to remain sovereign. Just letting everyone run willy-nilly without any restraints will bring utter chaos. Just as in having a smooth running home there are house rules...same with living in our country - country rules. I don't believe we need big govt pulling us around by the nose, tho, with excessive taxes, rules & regulations, laws...and we have allowed ourselves to become governed when it is WE who are to govern our govt. Vote responsibly....on all levels of Congress.
     
    Pam.
