Today's Picture
Our Newest Dragon

If you read my blog yesterday you might have noticed that I get my news from ABC, CNN, and Fox. You might wonder why.
Well I goto ABC and sometimes CBS for the politically correct news. I can count on them supporting the administration most of the time. They report the world as seen through pretty much liberal glasses.
I goto CNN because they at least they try for some objectivity. They ask better questions. Point out things that ABC or CBS miss.
That leaves us with Fox. I don’t go to Fox for balanced news. I goto Fox because they represent a large , unreported, subculture in our country. They give us a glimpse into the world of the conservative. They report events and gatherings ignored by the others. They are biased but everybody knows what the bias is. It is not a deception. It is the way they see things.
One of our problems is that so many have chosen hatred over understanding.
If they are conservative they hate the “ liberal media” and love Fox for telling the truth.
If they are liberal they hate Fox and see it as a center for lies.
We live in a wonderful and diverse nation. Nothing is gained in such a nation by deciding one group is good and another bad. Much better if we try , at least, to understand each other.
Yes there are nasty conservatives. Yes there are dishonest liberals. But don’t take those and use them to attack an entire group. We have self righteousness and hatred down to a science.
I am thankful that we have such a wide spectrum of news on American TV. If we would look at it to try to understand those around us instead of being upset by the bias they all have we can be well served.

News from Pigeon Falls

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
Pigeon Falls yesterday got to see a giant wooly elephant floating over main street. It was an unbelievable sight by itself, on the ground, but in the air it was beyond unbelievable. It just hung there for an hour or so until the dragon came making its daily flight . The dragon seemed irritated by the elephant and hit it full force with its flame. Then according to the spectators the wooly elephant exploded. But what fell from the sky was just water.
At Nancy’s coffee shop, for the remainder of the day that’s all they talked about. It is amazing how that event grew in the telling. By the time Nancy closed up there was , according to the story, a great battle in the sky between the dragon and the wooly elephant. For a time it looked like the wooly elephant would win but then the dragon turned on the flame and the elephant exploded.
One of the two man teams trying to capture a wooly elephant reported seeing something equally strange. One of the giant blue jays flew over them and though they did nothing it seemed to explode and water fell from where it had been. Well! It looked like water.
This morning Tommy UK had a surprise visitor who suddenly appeared in Tommy’s room.

Wrap UP

It was a hard breathing day which meant hauling the oxygen tank around with me. I printed May's blogs out to send to Dawn. Betty went to Bible study. I visited most of my friend's links. Now I need a breathing treatment.
