Some quick words about most anything…
I found this old truck in the WalMart parking lot a while ago. It really gave me a moment of joy. But…
When I looked in the back of the bed I found a hand-scrolled racist sign about our president it ruined the moment and cheapened the item it was attached to. I won’t show or repeat the sign here but I have found variations of it several different venues. I tried to erase that sign and just enjoy the truck but it was difficult. I recognize that I am in a very red State and there are a lot of older generation racists and bigots still around but these signs still give me a shudder when I see them. How can someone hate someone else so much, let alone POTUS, the leader of our country?
I am into old trucks and the cable TV car shows lately. I can’t do that stuff anymore but still enjoy being able to do it through someone else. But then again I am currently still working on my micro-RV (uRV) which takes my 24 year old truck and furniture delivery cap and turns them into a single person RV with many bumper stickers and travel decals.
This was a nicely done rat rod and I am hoping that eventually my memory of that sign will disappear when I view the pic in the future…
This blog has been in a three month hiatus due to me just getting tired of the political dialog. I have made some basic changes to prevent that from happening again. One thing is that while I will continue to allow comments, at least for now, I will not reply to many of them. I know this is not good blog etiquette but that is the way it has to be for me to continue here and keep my sanity.
This is my longest running blog and has over 2,000 posts so it has become an important part of who I am. While I will be drastically trimming down on posts about politics I will continue to occasionally post in that venue. There are many other topics included here that I didn’t want to abandon… so here we go again…
Today is James Madison’s birthday. I have made it clear here on RJsCorner that he is my favorite political figure in history. He was a short and hard-working and modest guy. This country would be very different if he had not lived. Here is a quote of the ten things about him that many probably don’t know. Click on the source below to see the entire article.
Madison really was the Father of the Constitution. He arrived 11 days early for the event, presented his Virginia plan of checks and balances as the foundation of the Constitution, and then worked tirelessly to get the Constitution ratified. Toward the end of his life, a modest Madison said the Constitution “ought to be regarded as the work of many heads and many hands.”
