America

This is the husband writing, my first entry in this blogspot. I'll go straight to the point. After only 700 miles of driving through the heartland of this country, it appears to me that commerce and agriculture have their gears in action. The cows are being milked, the trains are carrying goods and the big rigs are delivering shipments. But then after a day of travel, Susan and I pull into an RV Park, not far off the "Big Road" and find most of the RV sites are occupied by hard working families, transients, away from home, living "on the road." Hard working, decent families, doing what it takes to make a living during difficult times. Makes one feel damn fortunate to have an investment account and a choice to stay home or to travel. We have that choice, wow! So, I have determined that any individual running for President of the USA ought be required to take a month long RV trip across the country, stay in highway RV sites and SEE the country in the raw, not from a campaign bus and a fancy hotel room, seriously! The men and women that we see working from Tucson to Amarillo to Wichita are not understood by our leaders, no matter how much they claim otherwise. No one wants a hand out, but to be understood would go so far.
