My Thoughts on Clint Eastwood speech at RNC

First of all, I do not vote "party". I listen to what everyone says and watch what they do or have done. Then, I vote for a candidate that best represents what I believe--as we should do--in my opinion.

I think the unique approach that Clint Eastwood used at the RNC was effective. Many people need laughter these days and he provided that. We need issues that are important brought out and to me he provided that. You didn't really expect him to "glorify" the democrats at the RNC, now did you. I'm sure the democrats won't "glorify" the republicans at their convention either.

I think Clint Eastwood could have "seated" almost any politician in the chair and made almost the same speech, especially some parts of it. That's just a part of "politics", like it or not. It can be downright ugly. I don't like negative campaigns by any candidates but it's not going to be compliments to the opposition, etc. Clint Eastwood managed to bring humor to what is inevitable in a political campaign. I have to give him credit for that. 

I am proud to be an American. I am glad we have the freedom to choose. I am glad all candidates have the chance to be heard.  I am glad we can vote and I don't mind providing ID when I do.

Thanks for viewing my blog.

On The Lighter Side: No Excuses! Simple Things Bring Joy.

Left: My coffee mug
Right: My new water mug
No more excuses. The mug I used for drinking water was ok except I could take a couple of drinks and I was out of water. LOL When I'm busy I don't always want to have to run refill the mug. I found this wonderful 52 ounce mug and bought it.(No mistake, I did say fifty-two ounce)  It's a whopper but dog-gone it, but keeping the mug supplied with water should be no problem now. 

Yes, it's insulated for hot or cold drinks and I may eventually use it for hot drinks, especially in the Winter.  However, my primary purpose for this is to make sure I drink water which is so good for our health.

I certainly am enjoying my new mug. LOL Funny how the simple things can bring much joy.
