Hello All,


I've been away for a while, not intentionally, but I do work and have other elements in my life that don't allow me to write perhaps as much as I would like to.

I like many watched the Presidential debate this week.  Well, for only about an hour.  It was all I could take.  As I have been contemplating the various talking points that were addressed it has become clear to me how I should vote the November.  I have never been a fan of Mr. Trump.  In fact I thought the guy was a tool in the 80's and he has not aged well.  As I watched him do his Felonious Trump thing and sing the same tired songs about immigrants, taxes, energy, and so forth, he threw me a curve ball.  He broke out a new solo on the immigrant thing with his eating dogs and cats.  

I can't for the life of me, think how or why a presidential canidate for the United States of America, would trot that out during a world wide broadcast of the debate.  Then it dawned on me that he got rattled.  I've spoken in front of large'ish crowds of a few hundred people.  I've fielded questions from the same groups and it can be a bit intimidating.  But, this guy only had four people in the room and got so rattled that he went to eating dogs and cats to make his point.  I nearly fell out the recliner laughing, as I am sure nearly everyone else did.  The point here is, if he cannot handle a non-life threatening question from a reporter without freezing up, how is he going to handle a true emergency?

Also, as the week has unfolded, we've seen the chaos that has ensued in Springfield, OH with bomb threats and a fathers grief over his tragedy being used as a political football.  This is simply a continuation of the Trump presidency.  If we forget the past we doomed to repeat it.  

Ms. Harris summed him up best with her "he is not a serious person" comment.  I think that this past week has proved it.

So you want to build a farm table?

Hi, My name is Lee and I am a hobbyist woodworker.  This is my first post and I hope you'll be kind.  I have noticed on Pinterest that quite a few people are looking to build a farm table for their homes and one of prevailing methods is to use lumber from your local home center.  I'd like to share my experience in building one. As I said I am a hobbyist.  Basically, my wife Linda says "Honey? I think I'd like a ........"  and then I go build it.  Many times it requires a fair amount of research on the techniques and then the practical application.  What I like to build, when I'm not on the home projects is electric guitars.  But they are a discussion for another day. I'd like to break this down into the basic operations that go into making a table and maybe I can even impart some creative details that can inspire you to make something other than four straight legs with a top.  I'll try keep the lessons short and try to publish a new one...

We the People

It is a sad day in America this morning.  I awoke to news stories about the President of the United States of America, having police and security forces teargas demonstrators so that he could walk safely from the White House to St. Johns church across Lafayette Park.  In his mind, I believe, that it was a show of strength and power.  Power, yes.  Strength, no. It has been posited, that this was done because on Friday night he spent an hour in the protective bunker in the basement of the White House.  The media roundly criticized his being in there when the streets of Washington D.C. were being vandalized and torched.  His fragile ego couldn't take being called frightened or scared.  Even as he was safe and secure in the bunker, he continued to tweet words of division and anger.  It is sad, that a 73-year old man still doesn't understand the difference between power and strength.  He sees them as one in the same.  It has become extrem...
