Thought for the day...

Today is day one, of your ten-year plan. Are you on course?

Query: Is Federalism Dead?

I have found myself wondering over the last year or so, as to whether Federalism is dead in America. It seems as with many thoughts, they are not unique, as I have found several links on this topic... Publius; Case4theright; national review. While the popularity of the question doesn't solve the problem that prompts it, it does give me some solace that others share in the quest for the answer.

It was a good time for me to re-read the United States Constitution, and ... not finding what I was looking for there.... the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution. I feel secure that those words are still there. Even if maybe they are now just an illusion.

Keep tomorrow in mind, forget all but the lessons from yesterday, and live in the here and now.

Line Up, Take your Meds, Shuffle out the Door...

I received notice that it was time to renew my home supply of government anti-radiation medication, for emergency home use. Delaware's Department of Emergency Management, issues Potassium Iodide to those folks who live or work near a nuclear hazard (Salem Nuclear Plant).

It reminds me of when I was lined up with the other soldiers and given numerous inoculations for such things as Bubonic Plague. That's when I was horrified to learn that the plague was alive in well in Colorado, along with a gazillion tons of chemical warfare agents that I was about to guard.

Then also it reminds me of the pouch of antidotes that I had to carry strapped to my leg, for nerve agent poisoning, or anything else that made me fall over and twitch.

Well, here I am. Line me up again. Give my meds and ship me out the door. Just don't forget to sound the alarm system when Salem leaks, so that I have a chance to bail before I absorb too many rads.

Pig Headed

Today I met the head cook (a realtor in the other part of his life) from Pig Headed BBQ, of Middletown. In just a few minutes of conversation, he helped me with several of my novice bbq issues. Look forward to seein ya at the Dover Downs competition in October.

This is MY country!

Thought for the day... This is my country. Take personal ownership and responsibility, it's a package deal. You can't have one without the other.
