Silent no more

Today I emailed both my Arizona senators. Below is what I said to each:

Please vote NO, to the immigration reform bill now being considered in the Senate. This bill is a bill for Corporate America, by Corporate America, and of Corporate America. Laws exist today that if enforced would secure out borders. Regardless of what you may think the silent majority is about to loudly proclaim their disgust with the selling out, our representation continues to do for special interests and especially Corporate America. We the people may not possess the funds, but hear this, we do possess the vote.

I will use my vote against anyone who votes in the congress for such blatantly flawed legislation such as the immigration reform bill. In addition to my vote I will attempt to influence all who will listen to follow my lead and seek representation by the people, for the people and of the people.

Respectfully,
<Quien Sabe>

Although I barely remember it, I do remember my family evacuating Lumbertin, TX, to avoid the worst of hurricane Carla in 1961.

Before leaving the Houston metropolitan area I also experienced a Harvey like storm in 1995 named Allison , by the time it arrived in the Houston area it was more of a tropical storm that lingered and caused significant flooding. With the exception of several significant typhoons, whose names I either never knew, or more probably have forgotten, while on a U.S. Navy destroyer in the South Pacific during the early 1970's, the storms I mentioned were all before moving to the Phoenix metropolitan area, where aside from 120 degree summers and a few Ha...

I am thankful

I will readily admit that I have not and do not give thanks often enough for the good things in my life. While I never want to be thankful in the manner of those countless rote blessings I heard at the table before each meal as a child, I believe I should give thanks more often than on this annual holiday. Oh well, perhaps that will be a good resolution for the forthcoming new year. I am thankful for: Reasonably good health Respectful friends, especially one budding new friend Knowing that within me the embers of affection and passion continue to glow, patiently awaiting the chance to burn brightly again A caring family Life's lessons that have been bestowed upon me throughout the years A job that allows me to prepare for a secure retirement
