Hills

A new orchid from Orchids in Bloom.  How beautiful. 

Tom Clancy, a prolific writer who brought his stories to life .  Twenty novels and five made into movies.  I enjoyed every one of the novels I read and the movies that I saw.  May  he rest in peace.

A home owner with some spunk.   The Home Owners Association said no flag on the property so he didn't get mad , he got even . . . bless his heart.   You just can't fool around with those veterans.

The Painted Hills in China.     they are real although they certainly do not look it.  It is China's Danxia land form Geological Park.     Huge and awesome, wondrous color combinations.  Imagine standing there looking at all of the beautiful colors.

Well, it is Thursday and the politicians are still at a stand still.    If they were going to close the Government down they should have not played favorites as the news showed the stupidity of shutting down the World War II memorial and the group of elderly veterans cut off from viewing it.  It took forever for them to build the memorial and now they can't even walk around the path way.   No mail yesterday, another farce as the Government decided many years ago to cut the money to run the agency and make it a 'business' and self sufficient.  Well modern technology played a big part in making the Postal Service  a thing of the past.   The politicians are making asses of themselves at our expense, remember all this when it comes time to vote.   They have legitimate reasons to solve the problems but not the courage of their own convictions.    This President is not about to change his tactics or his mind and has already said so as he vetoes everything in sight then passes all his wants by Executive Order.   Something is amiss and the government workers pay the price as usual.     I wonder what the news is this morning..  Guess we will find out once we turn on the television and all the experts spiel second guesses.    Have patience and don't let your attitude go up a wrong way street.   Find reasons to live your seconds wisely today and have a little fun along the way.    What is that old adage of 'stop, look and listen';  do that as it may pay off in the end.   Go carefully and enjoy today.  Hugs to all.
