My 4 year old grandson Prince William and I have a garden plot that is 10 feet by 8 feet that we call his farm. With all this rain, the squash plants are huge, the tomato plants are really thriving, and today William was so excited over seeing one tiny green tomato.
There is a little row of spinach that he picks and eats raw. We have five Irish potato plants and he keeps emoting over them and wants to know how long before they are French Fries.
When he comes and sees how much things have grown, yells, “Holy guacamole!”

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT, “KEEP THE CHANGE.”
During the long campaign for president, we heard like a mantra, over and over, you were for change change, change. Your plans were for transparency out of Washington. You were going to change the operations of Lobbyist and a list of things you said you were going to do.
Since you took over the reins of government, things have gone from bad to worse. Granted you inherited a big mess. But for Pete’s sake you did not tell us your change would be to put the American people further and further in debt at a cost of staggering billions.

Lately, I have been receiving some interesting questions, like, who defines boundaries, and why is ownership a principle. Plus some debatable statements like, freedom is not given to us by a creator and freedom does not exist in nature. And freedom cannot be fought for and anyone who believes it can and will always lose in a battle for it.
As I have expressed in previous articles, I take the position, ownership of property is a principle, and freedom can be fought for and frequently must be defended.

During those depression years, mostly in the thirties, there was no television, and we did not have a telephone. We kept up with what was happening in the world through the radio and daily newspapers and magazines, plus once a week, current news events in History class.
There was a lot of news about such things as the romance of King Edward in England and his subsequent abdication to marry Wally Simpson. There were stories about the Dionne Quintuplets, Crashing of the Hindenburg, Many stories about The Roosevelt Regime.
Plus stories about personalities like Thomas Edison, Will Rogers, and Admiral Byrd.
