I wonder if the newer generations coming up even know the meaning of Memorial Day or the great sacrifices that so many of our nation's military made in wars past in order to for us to keep the abounding freedoms that we still enjoy to this very day?
How easily do we give up those freedoms in the name of "security" and "what do you have to hide"?
Rhetorical questions. The All-Knowing Government has their answers to those questions.
I am still up in the mountains, been here since Saturday morning. So, quite a nice time away from polluted air and people in my face seemingly 24 hours a day. I slept better last night than I can remember sleeping in the past year. I didn't even want to get out of bed this morning, I could have slept another couple of hours. Dogs, however, have their own schedule and to not meet that schedule within some reasonable time frame means...............a certain liquid or a certain mass left on your living room floor.
Fortunately, my mom has a large fenced in area around her trailer so I just take the dogs over there and they can roam around for a while while I clean up house, make bed and all that sort of stuff without them in my face. I do need one of those fences around here, but, money constraints right now will have that put off for some time to come. Only if I can sell the other trailer, then I will spend the couple hundred it's going to cost to get a good fence up around this thing so I can just let the dogs out at will.
My Direct TV I could not get going yet again. So, I am taking the whole mess back down to the valley and I am going to get it working down there. If I bring it up here again and I still can't get it to work, foregone conclusion that I will have to have Direct TV come up here and install it for me. But I think my satellite dish was damaged and I think that's why I couldn't get it to work. I have 3 more dishes to play with, lol.
There is no doubt that sitting up here and watching a good movie at night before bed is something I want to be able to do.
It is so ever-loving-nice to have a place to come to in such a beautiful setting and get away from people. I don't hate my tenants, but I have very little privacy at my house. That's just the way it is, I have gotten used to it over the last years of renting out rooms but..............and better, I haven't received a single phone call from any of them saying that "something" is afoul at the house.
It's almost 7:00am, I am going to be leaving within the hour. It's been wonderful being up here, but I have plenty to do at the house and I pretty much take care of the plants. I could ask Mark to help me out with it, but I would rather do it myself and make sure that all is well in plantdom. I did ask him to feed my fish, but even if that were neglected a few days, the fish would easily survive that.
I may write more later, right now I am getting ready to leave.
