All The Things…

Raj and I got married 48 years ago today; we were very young. 1972 was a tumultuous presidential election year as well but I didn’t understand politics well back then. As I said, I was young, foolish and yes, I voted for McGovern because those were the days and times we were living.

I’ve not voted for a Democrat since. Let’s hope the incumbent Republican President wins in an even larger landslide than Nixon did then. And God-willing the county’s youth will self-educate in the ensuing years and never waste their votes again.

As for me, today is sunny, warm and colorful;  I’m taking a mental health day. Hope you all have a good one.

The Things You Are To Me

If I held in my hand
Every grain of sand


Since time first began to be


Still, I could never count


Measure the amount


Of all the things you are to me



If I could paint the sky


Hang it out to dry


I would want the sky to be


Oh, such a grand design


An everlasting sign


Of all the things you are to me



You are the sun


That comes on summer winds


You are the falling year


That autumn brings


You are the wonder and the mystery


In everything I see


The things you are to me



Sometimes I wake at night


And suddenly take fright


You might be just fantasy


But then you reach for me


And once again I see


All the things you are to me



You are the sun


That comes on summer winds


You are the falling year


That autumn brings


You are the wonder and the mystery


In everything I see


The things you are to me



All the things you are… to me

I admit it, I voted for McGovern as well...I was also young and foolish and have never voted democrat since. I wasted that first vote, I’m glad Nixon did not need it.

With any luck a guy just grows up, liberals never seem to grow up, they just turn into bigger and bigger babies it seems.

My biggest regret was voting for Carter in 1976. In 1980 my mortgage interest was 13.5%. Plug that into your calculater. My goal is to visit the Carter library to sign the guest book and tell him where to stick it and then leave.

I figured it out in 1964, when I was 10.

It was obvious to anyone but a complete fool, Barry Goldwater would have been the best President.

The legacy of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the most successful white supremacist in history lives on.

Vermonters, outnumbered by the hippy invaders, were shocked to see the first democrat governor, Hoff, elected since the Civil War.

From the moment I was able to register to vote, until now, I have voted for one democrat, Jerome Diamond, attorney general in Vermont, only because he was honest and his opponent was a crook.

There is no way in hell, from age 18 to now I would vote for any other democrat, and don't like voting for some of the "republicans" (RINOs).

Now this 8th generation Vermonter is a refugee in New Hampshire, trying to help keep NH as it was, the "Live Free or Die" state.
