| ...OR DAY, SIMPLE BEAUTY SAYS IT BEST |
Thursday, the first day of winter, 8:00 AM. 24 degrees, wind NE, light. The sky is overcast but the barometer predicts sunshine. A very few snowflakes are drifting lazily down but it looks like a white Christmas will be only in our dreams. But on the bright side, we don’t have to shovel dreams.
There are some elaborate Christmas decorations in town, but I think this one, a simple, lighted wreath and bow bedecked swag hung up on driftwood boards, says it best. Thank you, neighbor Jake and Mrs. Jake!
News item: since 2005, the United States has given Saudi Arabia, home of some of the most notorious Islamic terrorists and a suspect regime, almost 4 billion dollars in aid. Saudi Arabia is awash in oil money and is a lynch pin of OPEC, the oil cartel which is de facto ruler of much of the world through the manipulation of oil price and availability. They should be paying us for protecting them and the world’s oil shipping lanes, and not be a recipient of our largess. This is not a partisan comment, as both the current and previous administrations are complicit in this idiocy.
