No words, no answers and no resolution

I learned of our country’s latest mass shooting yesterday while traveling for business.  My post from Monday seems very silly and pointless now, so allow me to apologize.

May the victims of this tragedy rest in peace and their families and friends find the grace and courage to go on.

Oldies but goodies

Good Monday to everyone. We're right in the middle of the steamy season here in central Kentucky.  It IS mid-July, after all, so not unexpected that we'd have uncomfortable heat and humidity right now.  I worked for a bit Saturday morning at an outdoor event (our company was exhibiting there) and because it had rained Friday evening, the air was heavy and I don't think my glasses became completely unfogged until about an hour after arrival! Saturday afternoon and yesterday my wife and I attended our younger grandson's T-ball tournament in a nearby community, which has been a pretty constant feature of our recent weekends.  Anyway, the team had some time between games and my son and I went out and bought fried chicken and some other stuff at a nearby grocery store, as we had all had enough hot dogs and such.  Nice change of pace! Anyway, while we were hanging out, my younger granddaughter got her dad's phone and started playing music (note:  it still amazes...

Tweet tweet

Friends, I've been wondering how many of my loyal readers are also active on Twitter.  I don't "tweet" that often, but sometimes do, just because I see, hear or experience something worth mentioning.  And I can tell you that I don't have that many Twitter followers, but a few that are active and take note of some of the stuff I post.  Here's a sampling: richardlexsmith Just complimented a delivery driver on his Batman sox. Answered that his visor and shirt matched, adding that his name is Bruce Wayne. 6/23/14, 11:43 AM richardlexsmith How about Blazin’ Billy? Another base hit, RBI, ten game hit streak, and oh, by the way, he just stole second. 6/21/14, 5:26 PM richardlexsmith Neighbor was out with a chainsaw at 4:00 AM clearing a tree that was partially blocking the street. Civic responsibility is great, but… 6/20/14, 8:13 AM richardlexsmith I must be living right, as I’ve been to four of these spots: http://t.co/kSFN9XfkZH 6/17/14, 3:43 PM...

Polling

Good Tuesday morning to everyone. Today is primary election day here in Kentucky, unless you're a Republican, in which case you've already gotten to do this once.  Yes, the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Republican Party opted to separate the Republican presidential primary from the "rest" of the primary ballot.  Reason?  So that current Republican Senator Rand Paul could simultaneously run for President and for reelection to his Senate seat in the same year.  Good thing, too, since we all know what happened to his bid for the Presidency. This is always a strange time, when Kentucky is mentioned in the national news for having politicians conduct rallies here and not for a natural disaster or for the Kentucky Derby.  We've had Trump, all of the Clintons, Sanders and a few other surrogates and such visit in the last few weeks. My wife and I are planning to vote, and we have a grand total of three things to vote on:  President, Senate and House of Represent...
