Holy moly.   Am I right, or am I right?

Just a quick game of 'New-President-Trivia' today.   (Yup, gotta keep it light.  I can hardly deal, as is.) 
Question:  When does the new president get to move in?  It's January 20.  "Seems like a bit of a wait, but up until 1937 presidents weren't usually sworn in until March because it took so long to count and report the results."  story    

Anyways, I'm still routing for you, America.  Love you lots.

First opened 26 years ago, the Richard Nixon Presidential Library "was dismissed by many historians as more of a whitewash than a faithful retelling," of the Nixon presidency years.  Recently redesigned, reworked, and reopened, the Library has been lauded now as a far better and more honest representation of the Nixon story.  (Oh, silly Watergate.   It was a simpler time in Presidential warfare.  You should see us now!)     news

THE SERENITY OF A CLEAR BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE

I'm gone for vacation!   Headed back to Mother Nature Land.  There will be tree hugging, talking to God, s'mores ... the whole kit and caboodle!    In honor of said Mother Nature and my vacation, I'm offering a free giveaway (click to enter) of one of my favorite John Muir books.  And, a repeat of an earlier all time favorite post here.    (If the post video by chance won't open, you can see it here.)   It is a don't miss, Peeps!   
So, see you in a week.   Hold down the fort while I'm gone, and be good to each other!

Sorry 'bout the blurry picture - but do you know this guy?  It's Fabio.  He was a big deal in the 90s with the ladies.   Fabio modeled and acted and whatnot, and just recently at the age 57 became a naturalized American citizen, saying it was "one of the happiest days of his life."   Happy days are the best.   story

Contrary to any complaining we do and others do, there's a lot to love about the USA.  In so many ways we have it so good!   Enjoy the Fourth of July celebration . . . and for fun, the video below:









                                

Principle in the type:  "What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.  You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you can know that the President drinks Coke.  Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too."    Andy Warhol
