I’ve been watching a little television and it really seems to me that the "news" people don’t really want to talk about how a President would effect change on the issues like the Supreme Court and what we want Congress to do, tax laws, health insurance, market prosperity, etc. Rather the talk is pretty volatile, mean spirited, and getting worse. Hope we all vote, hope our vote is counted, hope we get through this election to better times.
Today 2 busses full of submarine sailors and companions traveled north east out of San Antonio to visit the LBJ Texas White House and I got a better picture of LBJ. He was a big man 6′ 4" over 220 pounds. Big broad shoulders and I thought I remembered that Kennedy really didn’t like the big brash Texan but his home is Texas… Big. Bold. Proud. God bless Texas. God bless the USA.
Then we drove south to Fredericksburg TX to the museum of the Pacific (home of Admiral Nimitz). The museum is full of memorabilia: photos, guns, parts of ships and planes… From 1941 the end of the war. Also a peace garden contributed by Japan in honor of Nimitz’s gentlementally treatment of Japan after WWII. Enough war stuff so Chuck and I headed for Main Street and found an art gallery/wine bar that also sold draft craft beer. Beer in hand, we strolled through the gallery. I could breathe again, "Make art… Not war." One day ask to see my pictures taken within the gallery!! Sailors got onto the bus, and were counted. Back to hotel for more fun with sailors! Hotel full of high school students on a Year Book weekend. Out to a Riverwalk restaurant for steak. God bless you.
