Happy Tuesday everyone. Another hot day here But it is supposed to be cooling off for a few days starting Wednesday. But it's warming back up next week. I am holding on to every last bit of Summer Mother Nature dishes out.
So crazy that there is so much controversy going on over taking a knee for the National Anthem in the NFL. How is taking a knee disrespectful? I was very pleased by the Dallas Cowboy's display last night. I think it was brilliant. It separated the protest issue from the "Patriotism" issue. Jerry Jones participation was critical. Still some Conservatives complain. Trump really is just using this issue to divide & distract. But he spends all his time consumed by this & ignores Puerto Rico. He really is a Dotard.
Sorry I have been MIA. So much going on at my house. Doing some remodeling and had some unexpected issues that made for a hectic weekend. Plus I am hosting my Son & Daughter-in-laws baby shower this Saturday and there is sooo much to do. I think that I am going to sleep all day Sunday to try and recover.
I hope everyone has a great day. It is hard to believe that September is almost over. Time sure does fly.

You can have my summer too, Sam
We are not going to have autumn, I am convinced, the leaves are just going to dry out and fall off all brown and yucky. That's what happens in Texas for the trees that turn in the fall, one day they are there and green and the next they are on the ground, brown. It was a very weird phenomena to me as a New Yorker to live through this as I was used to colorful beautiful autumnal foliage.
Now its going to happen here where its famous for the leaves changing
The protest has nothing to do with patriotism at least it didn't when Colin started it. Why are people turning it into something it isn't? Why is Puerto Rico being denied help that Texas and Florida got, like the Jones Act. (this is for foreign boats to help)
A baby shower sounds fun !

I agree the protest has nothing to do with patriotism. But that is what Conservatives have tried to turn it into. I realized a long time ago that Conservatives have a problem with comprehension.
I have never understood why America does not embrace Puerto Rico. But there is a lot about America I do not understand these days. This is definitely not the country I thought it was.
