Tuesday December 14th

Difficult day today.  We were awakened around 6:00 a.m. with news that our niece had been rushed to the hospital and went directly from the ER to the OR.  We didn't feel like doing much and wanted to be able to get and make calls, so it was a stay at home kind of day.

Later in the day we were informed that another family member unwittingly spent part of the evening with a white supremacist family.  They said they got through it without choking anybody or opening any veins.

Then the evening ended with word that a friend had been dealt an incredible injustice.  The kind that makes you wonder how anyone can be ignorant enough and dumb enough to not realize what they are doing.  Well, like I always say, you can't get into an intellectual duel with an unarmed opponent.

Tomorrow will be better...it's going to be spent in the saddle with the wind in our faces.
