As this election cycle continues to wear me down I find myself Reflecting on America. And do you know what I have concluded? America is great, has been great, and will remain great. Sure these are troubling times globally as well as here at home. Our problems are many but in my opinion, things are not as dire as our politicians, want-to-be politicians, talking heads, sensationalizing social media, doomsayers, et al would have us believe. So thank you all for getting me out of my funk. And reminding just how fortunate I am to be an American. God bless America.

25 Jul 2016What’s disturbing, Ron, is that too many people feel just the opposite of how we do!

24 Jul 2016Well said Ron – and loved the image. Which came first, the chicken or the egg??

25 Jul 2016I took the photo several weeks ago with no real intent in mind. Then last week as my frustration with negativity I happened on the photo again and the idea jelled. Silly as it sounds, it was cathartic as I realized things aren’t”t good but not as bad as THEY would have us believe.

12 Aug 2016As I indicated in the text, I have grown weary of all the negativity. This political season has worn me out and I am so looking forward to November when it will be over. I envy your distant vantage point. As always, thanks, Randall.
