I have never met my friend Kelly face to face, but we enjoy a valuable symbiosis.
When the events of the day upset me to too great a degree to be effectively expressive, she finds my thoughts and puts them down. She has told me that I do the same for her.
I am gravely concerned for our republic. In that respect, this is a somber Independence Day for me. Nevertheless, I am trying to stoke hope in myself on the basis that there are still, demonstrably, millions of people who understand the values upon which America was founded, and who further understand that they are the only values upon which she can survive.
I hope there are enough of them.

Thank you. Yes, you are very inspiring, Mr. Williams. And you often say in a much better way (read: with less profanity) what I can’t get out.
I too hope that there are enough. Would that we had the TEA Party rallies now, and not two years ago. We need a fire lit under some folks.
Maybe this’ll cheer you up a bit, Bo:

I love that man…
Thank you, Kelly. I’m glad you’re up there. Keep the crank turning. I’m doing my best to do the same.
Thanks, Falcon. I’m working on getting it back, because I need it.
Well, I am waiting for the day that Kelly comes south for a visit so we can stalk her in person instead of on the internetz!
Terri, I have a really shitty record at bringing online friends south to God’s country. 🙂
However, a lake house gathering of like-minded folks does sound seductive. Maybe there’s a germ of a good idea there.
