This is what you get

 This is a painful time in American  history! Peaceful protesters have once again been mixed in with  a few bad apples and the country has been  more divided than ever Condemning the violence isn't; enough to restore our democracy, not this time. We need a true miracle and honestly neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden can fix it alone, they must do it together.  The problem is neither ones supporters trust the opposition so they need to both concede, not the election but the biggest grip either side has with the other,

I'll start by saying I voted for Donald Trump, although I always respected Joe Biden, well until this election cycle I won't outline exact details but I believe he ran a terrible campaign, picked a horrible running mate who deep down not even  Democrats trust, they won't admit it Joe Biden also has a worse track record on foreign policy I have ever seen,.  I feel like President Obama before him Joe Biden will concede too much to foreign powers and dwell America's flaws rather thran our attributes. I feel since Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate, he with lose his desire to reach across the aisle. If you look closely at his record, the cornerstone of  Biden's "bipartrisonship" was his ability t 

There's a problem with calling the protests that became violent a reflection on just the result of thee 2020 election. Before I get to that let me run down a few things people forget. People forget Trump supporters are called racist and bigots on a daily basis. People forget from day one the Democrats ONLY goal was to destroy Trump presidency .  They forget the first year of his presidency was spent on investigating the false claim Trump colluded with Russia to "steal" the 2016 election People forget Trump's political opponents accused Trump of treason, illegally spied on him and threw his closest friends in jal because they refused to  lie in order to bring the man down.  The Democrats  accused Trump of shaking down the Ukrainian president, and when the Ukrainian president absolutely denied the claim, they said that was their proof. President Trump was never given a cha nce because every single move he made was take apart piece by piece 

The violence in the Capitol is totally unacceptable! I have visited the building a handful of times and each time I had to remind myself I was walking the same halls as many people with different backgrounds, political views, family life, diversify ,is what shapes the American dream The Capitol holds some of the greatest moments ino United States history, from passing landmark laws to historic speeches, to saying our final goodbyes to people like John Lewis and John McCain.  I  testified  in front of Congress a few times and visited Senate office buildings regarding disability rights almost twenty years ago, I walked the halls always thinking this where democracy was born. This is where the biggest moments in US History took place. I am very sad and disappointed, but not surprised this building was damaged. Buildings can be replaced, our democracy is fragile.

One Contact - Five Lighthouses--W9C

Back in the summer I wrote an entry in here about my Lighthouse phone contact with Bill,N8ET , so now I had to top that with a five lighthouse PSK contact in Wisconsin! I was orginally going to wait until I got the card like my other contacts but I think at this stage of the game you can take my word for it. This contact was with a husband and wife team also known as "Team Cheese"--WI9TC (I love the callsign). Like the contact with Bill, they were in the line of sight of five lighthouses located on the Wisconsin shores of Lake Michigan. As soon as I saw them on the BeaconBot (the e-mail reflector used to notify people of lighthouse activations-) I knew I had to take my best shot. There were tons of stations dying to get a contact. Well after some monitoring of the waterfall and waiting for a break in the QSO's, I dropped my call. Unfortunately I was getting overpowered a lot so I actually wound up waiting for quite awhile. Although I have to admit it was also fun just ...

Bob Dylan blows into town

Image
       For a few months there has buzz around Cape May NJ that Bob Dylan was coming to America's Oldest Seaside Resort. No he wasn't playing a concert at Convention Hall. For most of this weeks parts of 2024 Cape May,NJ was transformed into 1965 Newport, RI. A Complete Unknown is a new film about Dylan's conversion from acoustic  to electric guitar starring Timothee Chalamet as Bob Dylan is in production and the location scouting team decided that  Cape May today looked like Newport back in '65. Bob Dylan debuted  his hit song Like a Rolling Stone   at t he Newport Folk Festival. They even transformed Perry Street  into Belevedere Avenue. Shops along the Washington Mall were temporarily renamed to match shops up in Newport.  The Victorian Motel was baptized then Viking Motel for the film  Days prior I started seeing filming equipment  being transported into town.       Like most o f the town I was hopi...

Remembering Grandma in Florida

My dad and I are in Florida for the month of March because the wnters in Cape May are horrible. I also can't stand dad complaining about the wind up there 24/7. So a few years ago my mom started looking at places to rent or even eventuall buy. We were down here during the very beginning of COVID so while we flew down, we drove back. Later it was  determined we would drive down, something my father always wanted to do. So this year my father was determined so with a lot of planning (not really) he mapped out a three  day road  trip fro, Cape May down to West Palm Beach. We took the ferry .over to Delaware and proceeded down to an overnight in North Carolina and another somewhere in Georgia. I managed to pick up seven new counties in Georgia and North Carolina. No bad if you ask me By now you're wondering what this has to do with my Grandma. Well when my grandparent got older they bought a house in Naples, Florida.   They beccame snow birds, just like most people ...
