Stephen's Thoughts

Trump victory in yesterday's US presidential election. Good day to be an American.

Bling and Lubbock, Albuquerque residents, told us about their attendance at a Trump Rally in Albuquerque that AM. We regretted missing the rally. As ardent Trump supporters, had we known about it, we might have altered our plans to be there. Trump surprised a lot of people by coming to ordinarily solid blue New Mexico. Pubs have high hopes for Hispanics, hardworking, and nuclear family oriented, moving red. Perhaps Trump knows something we don't.

Clinton's bombing campaign, though seen as successful at the time, raises questions in latter days about the efficacy of subsequent US/CIA interventionism around the world (Ukraine anyone?) and whether US intervention is doing any good, or just leading to increased world instability.

Sydney is an RN and Mason works at Federal Express. They have purchased residential land in Trumann, Arkansas, near the home of Jerry, Sydney's Razorback fanatic father, where, after saving enough for a down payment, they will build a home. Two good kids, playing by the rules, looking forward to the future.

Drums seems happy as a commercial music major at North Texas University (NTU). He's in three bands, takes weekly drum lessons from the One O'Clock band drummer (by reputation, the best college jazz band drummer in the nation), and has as a good friend an opera singing freshman from Oregon.

Definitely not "Lo" biscus.

Twenty-five or so posters of Israeli hostages were displayed along the east side of Main Street. Yom Kippur starts on 11 October 2024 and ends 12 October 2024.
