I’m not trying to get into politics but I get involved. Our government has to have some guidelines.
When I was 7 or 8, a girl my age and I got into it. We were walking home from country school and we got into a physical bout. It must have been near voting time because we must have heard it discussed at home. Her parents were Republicans and mine were Democrats. It was just natural for us to stick up for our own.
I have just read Sarah Palin’s book, “Going Rogue,” and there I read about politics. She tells it like it is. She got so much harassing from the media and the comedians, I’m just glad she took them on in her book. It is interesting in that she tells about her family and living in Alaska, and behind the scenes on a campaign trip. Many Americans agree with her thoughts of doing things to better our country.
Have you heard of a method of choosing books? This electronic method is beyond belief. You hold the instrument in your hand. In it is a list of books. You push a button and up comes a book that you can then read on the handheld device. I haven’t seen it but isn’t the idea amazing? Maybe I would rather do what one man said. He said, he would sort through paperback books and find what he wanted. Life is getting too complicated.
What will we do this summer? They say no tomatoes, the plants in Florida, that supplies the grocery store, have frozen. Of course, we can plant our own, but that comes later.
