I'm writing this to document something so that I can pull it back up in four years.  I paid $2.84/gal for gas yesterday. Today eggs are $2.39/dozen at Aldi and 80% ground beef is $4.29/lb.  Lets see what the price of that is in 4 years under a Trump administration.  

Trump Convicted on all Counts

 Just thought I would document this day in my life.  Yesterday a jury of 12 various people from many different backgrounds found Trump guilty of 34 counts of corruption.   There is a 20 year period of American history that will go down as a very dark period in our history, the Trump era.  

Bernard Cromwell

 I have been reading books by Bernard Cromwell now for nearly a year.  I felt I needed save the following excerpt from his book Crackdown.  “ I like the sounds of a boat sailing at night. The sounds are the same as those of daylight, yet somehow the night magnifies and sharpens the creak of a yielding block, the sigh of air over a shroud, the stretching of a sail, the hiss of water sliding sleek against the hull, the curl of a quarter-wave falling away, and the thump as a wave strikes the cutwater to be sheared into two bright slices of whiteness. I like the purposefulness of a boat at night as it slits a path across an empty planet. I like the secretiveness of a boat in the blackness, when the only thing to dislike is the prospect of dawn, which seems like a betrayal because, at night, in a boat under sail, it is easy to feel very close to God—for eternity is all around.”   Those words really struck home as I experienced the same feelings when standing watch alone at night.
