Christmas Looms around the corner like a dark dragon.
Its that special season again were everything seems to hit a once. It is no wonder that the suicide rate is the highest during the Christmas Season. It is the time of the year when the Cold and Flu Virus are at there peak. When the sun has reached it soltrus and is the lowest on the horizon and you come to work and drive home in the dark. At this time of year you start to notice that all the green has disappeared from the hills and have been replaced with drab colors of brown. The sky turns a slate gray and it either rains or snows almost every day. The times when it is sunny the temperature drops to bone chilling cold. Also with everyone going more places that usual and this combined with weather related road hazards the accident rates climb to new heights.
And the reality of the season is we spend money we do not have on gifts that are forgotten two days after Christmas. With all the time and effort putting up Christmas decorations to only be outdone by your neighbors. And the party's that we have to dress up for and fix food for and clean up after only to think what the heck was that for and someone tell me if I had a good time.
With the kids over dosing on Christmas Junk to the point they are bouncing off the walls and all you want is two minutes of peace and quite you have to reminder yourself that Christmas is for children and retailers and not reasonable sane adults.
So if I could have anything I wanted for Christmas here is what it would be.
My Christmas List
(1) An all expense paid vacation for the month of December to Cancun Mexico. To set on the beach on soak up some rays while good looking scantly clad girls brings me food and drinks.
(2) All my Christmas Shopping is done in June and set to auto ship to the kids on December 22nd.
(3) To return to work on January 2nd with a tan and a smile on my face only to be the envy of everyone who was now realizing how much money they spent while trying to recover for the New Years Eve party where they tried to drowned there Christmas wows in as much alcohol there body's would hold.
So Ba Humbug on Christmas. Only 16 more days till it is over for another year.

WEST VIRGINIA DEATH SPIRAL

Before I get into this post a bit of my background.  I was born in Huntington West Virginia in 1952 and have lived in the state most of my entire life.  As a youth my father was an insurance salesman and my mother worked at Owens Illinois Glass Plant.  I remember that out family was close net and our neighbors watched out after each other.  It was a time of the nuclear family. A Peyton Place type of community where Sundays was time to attend church and then the strong sent of charcoal burring in the air as everyone seemed to be grilling out at the same time.  A time when families set down to dinner together at a set time and then retired to the living room to watch the Wonderful World of Disney on TV.  A typical middle working class family. Somewhere along the way things started to change. I remember Owens Illinois closing.  Then ACF "American Car and Foundry" closed.  Then the C&O shops closed.  The jobs were leaving and there was not a lot coming along to replace them

STIRRING THE POT

Now I am all about efficiency and the reduction of government waist.  But radical over the top changes is like asking a blind person to help you touch up your makeup.  Donald Trump is suggesting the combining, or even privatizing some of the executive branch offices.  First lets look at the list of executive offices. State Justice Justice Interior Agriculture Commerce Labor Defense Health and Human Services Housing and Urban Development Transportation Energy Education Veterans Affairs Homeland Security So which of these departments could you imagine being combined or privatized? Reference. The Presidential Executive Order on a Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch. https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/03/13/presidential-executive-order-comprehensive-plan-reorganizing-executive .

WARNING - THIS IS MY SITE, MY OPINIONS, MY VIEWS, AND MY THOUGHTS

I have decided to start posting my thoughts about the state of our planet, our country and our future here on my blog.  That way they can be read by those who have an interest and skipped by those who have no interest.   Me writing about my feelings is mostly self serving and therapy.   I am a democrat.  Mainly because I believe like most democrats.  We share many of the same views.  But I also welcome self proclaimed independents and republican thoughts and views.  We may not agree but I do read the post and support your right to disagree with me. So lets just get to right into todays news.  Today the RNC "Republican" party finally released what would be considered a pre-release of there replacement to the ACA "Affordable Care Act"  Or as it is known Obama Care.  President Obama all during his administration kept telling the RNC if you have a better plan or you want to change something submit it.  But it appears they either had no plan or did not want to help giv
