It would be interesting to know how you define truth.

I read your last this morning. Sorry not to have replied by now. But today, I went to my hometown to bring my elderly parents to the polls. My 93-year-old Mom (who just recently got her driver's license renewed!!!) was quite ill when I got there. So I took her to the emergency room. She was treated and released.

I am now about to devote myself to the "traditional" election-day vigil. I do this every election day, whether the election is general or midterm. Mainly I watch Fox News, but there's a good deal of channel surfing, too.

In short, I wonder how much "truth" I'm going to get tonight — or rather in the wee hours of the morning....

But your question — what is Truth? — is very much alive with me, and I'll reply tomorrow OldNavyVet!

p.s.: My mother is an "old Navy vet," too: She served in the South Pacific, in WWII. And is still going strong....

Praise God!

My Mom is 92, betty boop! She worked in DC in the Army Map Service. They generated the up-to-date maps used for battlefield planning, European theatre, and Island hopping in the Pacific. The photographic work even back then was astonishing. She said once they were scanning maps of a particular Island and had pictures of a particular little antelope animal giving birth! It was important to locate the cave entrances on the various Islands. Glad to hear your Mother is doing well now. Sadly, my Mother doesn’t even know who I am when I visit her now, but I know who she is.
