Meek, we have no idea what we are doing basically. One day the news looks hopeful, then the next day it looks depressing. We know they will be keeping him till June at least. We are going to move down there anyway, because that's enough time to find a permanent job else where. We really liked the area and are ready for a change. Who knows Meek. God will put us where he wants us, but as of today, we are still moving. Don't know if I can say that a month from now.

You are right. Did my normal skeptical stealth arrival. Overwatch, obvservation, evaluate and repeat. Crept in, said hello and was immediately enveloped with kindness (and cyber food)...sadly shocking and refreshing in this day and age. I mean that in the good sense.

But yes, the lost art of courtesy is practiced here...by caring, smart, total spectrum people. Like the kinda neighbor hood you want to move into...never have to lock your door. What a concept...while everyone is tackling the psuedo complex issues of the day in the forum...I want an answer to that question...what has changed in the last 30 years that I now have to lock (bolt and barricade) my door? And better what is the plan to return to that way of life...or is there any going back?

One of the original Freepers, a true American Patriot, a hero of the highest order and my dear friend, Jim Siler (may he rest in peace) turned me on to this place. I get busy with work and my causes and don't post as much as I'd like to (horribly...painfully slow typer)but I do come here to read the news....atleast try to each day.

I didn't know Scott Speicher but I feel lkie I do. Several good friends, very credible people, no stalwarts are and have been egaged since the get go.

Anyway, that's my latest passion...once I get my arms around something its hard for me to let go.

Hey have a great day...its beautiful outside!
