Monday Musings - July 1, 2013

1. OK, it is here. Let's have a great blast off for July 2013.

2. Abuse of power? What would you do if seven people assaulted you in a dark parking lot? Read about the University of Virginia student jailed for possessing water. Although they don't want to admit it, ;aw enforcement went too far.

3. Enough of Paula Deen. Everyone makes mistakes why have we become such an intolerant society? And not only are we intolerant, we have become vindictive.

4. Independence Day is later this week and then it is off to Florida for beach, sun, snorkeling and recharging after a really trying and stressful project filled June.

5. Who knew that constructing a simple shed was such a complex and lengthy project?

6,. Writing of my shed, I was cautioned that it was OK to call it an out building, but I probably shouldn't call it an out house. LOL.

7. If you are traveling over the 4th--be safe. If you are staying home--be safe, especially if you are planning backyard activities.

8. For all of my friends and family who remain Yankee supporters, all I can say is: "Sweeps are a beautiful thing."
