When one excogitates the IRS and how it has handled it's responsibilities and then the NSA, the realization of impending doom grows stronger.

The endless articles on this administration's polices are mind numbing.

Rise and shine! It’s a new day and the NSA is getting bored with your usual boring phone conversations. Try to liven it up a bit today! It’s SUMMER.

Have either of you read a Sarah Addison Allen book? Garden Spells is a great summertime book. Her books tend to be about an ordinary summer with a slight mystical flair. Enchanting stories for a summer day.

LOL, the summer has just begun. A+++
