My brother & his wife escaped with their pets & are living currently in a local hotel in the
Colorado Springs metro area. The news has said that the Black Forest Fire is a hundred percent contained as of today...

Yes, Still Trucking, we have much to be grateful for. Praise be the beginning of the season of the sun.
Happy Happy Joy Joy! I mean this in earnest. I've never prayed so hard for people in my
life. My heart goes out to the family of the two who lost their lives.

Okay to chat, to chew the fat,
'Cause we are alive & "kicking cans"
No sense to blow ourselves away,
Like Hemingway...
We have much to live for,
For each dawn brings little blessings,
A little more progress on the grindstone...
More wisdom gained from daily toil...
"Always merry & bright" as author
Henry Miller used to say...

Just take a little time out to remember "Patriot Day" or the day the trade towers in NYC, Pentagon, etc. were hit in September 11, 2001. Remember the servicemen & service women who are still stationed overseas in Afghanistan & elsewhere. God Bless...

Take the time to remember "Sweetest Day" or "Yorktown Day" on Oct. 19, 2013.
The day "the world turned upside down"...and the band still plays.

Yesterday, October 24, 2013, was United Nations Day. Like Eleanor Roosevelt, I feel that the
United Nations, if fully utilized, may the reduce the chances of world conflicts.

See a quote from the UN's Secretary-General: See link: http://www.un.org/en/events/unday

"This year again, we saw the United Nations come together on armed conflict, human rights, the environment and many other issues. We continue to show what collective action can do. We can do even more. In a world that is more connected, we must be more united. On United Nations Day, let us pledge to live up to our founding ideals and work together for peace, development and human rights. "

man you certainly made this difficult - this is worse than the military! I've tried several times to get something goin' here but each time all you've done is tell me I'm in the wrong place and direct me to someplace else & then direct me to someplace else yet again all without ever responding to any of my efforts at "communication" here - this is me surrendering - you win -I'm outta here and I don't even want to know if this is the "right" spot or not anymore - i'd make more headway in less time wrestling a pit bull!
