It's All Gonna Work Out

Voter registration is an interesting pass time.
We tend to come in contact with people who are
more like us than not.

With that in mind, those we hand voter registration cards
are more likely to favor views similar to our own.

I've put the cards in my glove compartment, my backpack and in my gym bag.

About 150 days left in the campaign. If I can register 100 new voters maybe 75 percent will vote like me....

Let's Play!

Fair Trade?

This about safety and civil rights. Do we gain one by sacrificing the other?

In My Lifetime


In My Lifetime, originally uploaded by DeHoll.

I started my blog on June 4, the same day it became certain this man would be the Democratic presidential nominee.

I am an interested spectator. I am also a person who for the first time in his adult life will have a real opportunity to offer opinionated observations about the campaign, the country and the world.

I was not in the military, but those who have made a career of it will understand how liberating stepping out of that world and having a shot at unrestricted self expression can be. After knowing from enlistment on that there were strict prohibitions against speaking out in or out of uniform -- the end of a career can be liberating.

I won't say much about me here, but over time, I believe those who drop in to peruse my thoughts will learn a few things about me. Suffice it to say I spent literally 40 years watching the world, or at least parts of it, for people who were too busy living to keep watch themselves.

It is that experience I will bring to what I post here.
