So much going on in my life do not know where to start. I have come to the realization that life is full of stages. As much as we resist we change. Things that were so important to us become a past chapter in our life. We turn the page and start moving through the next chapter without giving the past chapters a second thought. At my age I realize that health is high on my list. Every day that you are not sick or something does not hurt that is a great day. Remember when you could not wait to go to the amusement park and now when you go you can not wait to leave. That is what I mean about change. Music is another good example of change. When I was young I enjoyed heavy rock. Loud hard driven music. Then country and folk rock. And then came jazz and then enjoyment of the talents and mixes. So now I am starting to learn about Alternative music. Not sure what that means but I know it is part of change.

I also find myself starting to think a lot about the past. My life and what I have done with it. I find that my grand kids are more important to me than I could have imagined. So time to turn the page.

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
