Hope y'all have a chance to relax and watch some great, big boy football.
Extended family is staying at my house tonight. Nothing beats spending summer evenings with loved ones, with the soft air and the sunlight drenching the hills before setting in the west. Add to that the opening night of football, and you totally forget about the often trivial world of politics.
Have a great night, poli-posters.
On that subject, I'll leave you with one of my favorite book passages:

On that subject, I'll leave you with one of my favorite book passages:
quote:
Sometimes, of a spring evening, Papa would hear that distant honking that always makes his scalp tingle, and we would all rush out to see the geese, in lines of hundreds, steer up from the southwest, turn over the barn as over a landmark, and head into the north. Or on autumn nights of sudden cold that set the ewes breeding in the orchard, Papa would call you out of the house to stand with him in the now celebrated pumpkin patch and watch the northern lights flicker in electric clouds on the horizon, mount, die down, fade and mount again till they filled the whole northern sky with ghostly light in motion.
“Thus, as children, you experienced two of the most important things men ever know—the wonder of life and the wonder of the universe, the wonder of life within the wonder of the universe. More importantly, you knew them not from books, not from lectures, but simply from living among them. Most important, you knew them with reverence and awe—that reverence and awe that has died out of the modern world and has been replaced by man’s monkeylike amazement at the cleverness of his own inventive brain

You should write a novel or something.

Geez, HM...makes me wish I lived next door. I can cook; redneck style of course.
Thanks, buddy. Peace and love to you and yours. And a win!
