my heart breaks when they show the tape about the murder by the police. One thing I detest is murder innocents. the space launch almost happened but for the weather. Saturday try again. that cheered me.

I'm sorry. I know all Southerners are not like that any more than all New Yorkers are mobsters. Oh no, Pat! Surely you're not going to shatter my illusions about New Yorkers. I was hoping you might be able to connect me with the Godfather. LOL! We all have a tendency to lump people into categories even when we know we shouldn't. I'm just as bad about it as anyone else. The same thing comes with thinking all Californians are liberal Hollywood elite or else dot com millionaires. The Internet and social media have some wonderful qualities, but they also make it all too easy to classify groups. I like the fact that this group is very diverse, and that we all accept each other just as we are. I have a kind of humorous story about geographical stereotypes. Between my freshman and sophomore years of college (1969) I worked at Yellowstone National Park. There were kids from all over the country. When I arrived and said I was from California they were shocked. "But you're not blond!" "What do you mean you don't live on the beach and surf?" Even funnier was there was a guy from Hollywood. He immediately got dubbed "the Hollywood Queer". He took it with good nature. He and I ended up becoming friends and he even dated my younger sister for awhile as they were both going to San Diego State College.

luanne to add to your story. Pat you are gonna love this.
Stop me if I have told it before:
We were in D.C. at the time touring the W.H. (you can tell,old story) my daughter's hair was very curly and some how got it tangled in a button on one of the S.S.'s jacket. Big crowd....but I was right behind her, the Agent asked me if I was "THE"MOTHER, I replied nicely (O.k. maybe a little snark) that I was "HER" MOTHER.
He looked up at me and said "New York huh"! It was not a question...lol
What can I tell ya?

Re the launch, stolen from someone else's tweet:
You just knew once he got there, they wouldn't be able to get it up.

He's so idiotic his actions would be really funny if they didn't have serious consequences for us all. On a happy note, today is DH and my 26th wedding anniversary so Happy Anniversary to us! After my prior fiasco I had absolutely no intentions of ever getting married again. So much for good intentions! Taking a chance again and marrying him was the best decision of my life. Who knew you could pack so much into 26 short years? We've lived in 3 states and 5 cities, we've gone from teaching into retirement and started a rental property business, we've seen our children get married, and best of all we've become grandparents. We've gone through heartbreaking loss and mountaintop highs. We've traveled all across the country. And as surprising as it seems we're accomplishing that feat of growing old together. But who knew that would come so fast! It's been a wonderful ride, and I'm so glad I decided to take that chance. Not even the JA in the White House can change that.
