Continued Confessions

better late than never

My first solo road trip in ages, so I am late in posting today. But I have to tell you, it was great to be out on the road again. I went from the Submarine Capital of the World here in Connecticut, to the first capital of New York for an overnight and visit to a 94-year-old piano-playing farmer. Then on up to “Hometown USA” (so designated by Look magazine in 1944) to visit my friend Carol. I added a third state by coming home through Massachusetts. I still have my 2016 Clinton/Kaine sticker on my car, and it felt a bit different to venture into unknown territory. But I have to report that all went well; however, I was very surprised to not see any other bumper stickers of any kind on my journey. Have they gone out of fashion?

I also came up with a great idea on the long drive. I am dedicated to saving democracy along with so many other fellow Stackers. And I thought perhaps Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Robert Reich could join forces and barnstorm across the country to give us the “long and the short of it” for preventing a dictatorship.

And now I’m totally knackered, so TTFN.
