Today is your day Boomer! No one deserves what happened to Donald Trump yesterday. The Republican presidential candidate was the victim of an assassination attempt at a rally, but escaped with only a bullet wound to his ear. He was lucky. Running for politics in the good ol' USA is a dangerous job I guess. Here is the number of presidents or presidential candidates that have been shot at, wounded, or killed: NINE! The most famous, I suppose, were Abraham Lincoln in 1865(the leader who proposed elimination of black slavery) and JFK; John F.Kennedy was fatally shot by a hidden assassin armed with a high-powered rifle as he visited Dallas in November 1963 with first lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Shots rang out as the president’s motorcade rolled through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas. Another high-powered rifle, from only 150 yards away, almost took out Trump. So, will this be an eye opener for the former president if he wins again? Will he tighten up gun laws? I sure hope so, and I wish Trump a speedy recovery....and America, good luck.
Today is your day Boomer! My Dad left this world this week. I was there in-person to say goodbye and, of course, it was very, very difficult. But rather than focusing on the negatives of his downfall, I want to share with you my Dad's many contributions to my life. First off, Harold (Hal) shared his name with me and helped raise me as one of six kids in our family. Imagine the financial impact a family of eight had on his work life and mental state! Speaking of that, he taught me the importance of a strong work ethic and a good education. All his kids have university degrees or trades tickets. He showed me the supreme importance of family gatherings, how to flyfish...even when he was colour blind....how to use tools, play high-level bridge, eat organic foods, he taught me how to drive....even though I ruined the transmission on our old car....he showed me how to sail, save and invest money, have an appreciation for nature, he was a role model for me as I moved through heart/s
