Today's Saying
Metaphysics may be, after all, only the art of being sure of something that is not so, and logic only the art of going wrong with confidence. ~Joseph Wood Krutch

Today's Picture
Ella & Betty at Bible Study

Our President made a political decision not to try the Bush administration for acts of torture committed while Bush was President.
I think it was a bad decision.
No I am not like some of those on the left who are drooling over the possibility of punishing Bush.
They are out for blood.
They want revenge.
They hate the former President.
They know in their hearts he’s guilty.
Obama greatly disappointed them.

But that's not my reason.
I don’t know if he is guilty of anything at all.
I know what he did was unethical.
I know we should never let our country do it again.
But was it against the law.
I have this terrible fear it wasn’t.
If it wasn’t we need to know.
We need to fix the law to prevent any future President from doing this.
The only way to know is to go to trial.

I understand where Obama is at.
I know that it would upset people.
I know it would further divide the country.
But I am still disappointed.
We can’t fix it if we don’t know it’s broke.
It’s not enough for The President to say we will never do it again.
The next President may say something else.
Let’s get it settled.
Let’s spell it out.

The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal
The tracking device came today and the Constable went immediately with it to the Bergall farm. There he began to track the missing cows. The machine took him to the middle of the field then it stopped. There was nothing there but the machine seemed to think the cows were there. That’s when the constable decided to read the directions ( real men don’t read directions they just know). But even after doing everything the directions dictated the machine kept pointing to the middle of an empty field. Finally the Constable decided the machine was defective and he would have to send it back and get another.
While he was gone from home another call came in, three more chickens were missing.
Petrovich will be posting a new driblet tomorrow, at least that’s the rumor.
Tommy UK finally got a hold of his uncle in Iron Mountain and they are going to get together next Saturday. Tommy hopes to get information about his birth parents.

Wrap UP

Last Thursday Betty took Ella to Bible Study. The ladies just loved her and Ella showed some real insight into the text they were studying. But what Ella liked best was the coffee afterward.
Another good day even though it started off with snow. I visited all the blogs that left comments yesterday. My sister Dawn called . Melli has arrived. I need a breathing treatment.
