Yesterday was not a good day. I encountered problem after problem all day. Two of my boys and their families are coming today and we have been trying to get it looking semi-nice. My new house is under construction, and they are digging out and hauling dirt for the foundation with ten dump trucks coming in here one right after another. A full set of painters is here painting the outside of the cabin in which I live, and a big crew of fence guys are here installing a picket fence in the front yard creating a muddy mess . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2022/11/dont-let-the-son-catch-you-crying/

Many politicians and others are trying their utmost to rewrite history. God is supposed to be stripped from society at all costs according to their mantra. Ah but a few of us cannot stand by and let them succeed. I read just this morning how many left-wing groups actively are opposing Thanksgiving. Give me a break! A friend of mine sent me this and I thought it would be appropriate to send it to you. I suggest you forward it . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2022/11/truth-reigns-over-lies/

Last night was brutal. Just as I was getting ready to retire for the night, my wife informed me that we had no hot water. Then I noticed there was no heat either. I checked all breakers and there were not any that had tripped. So, it was supposed to get down to 28 last night and we had no heat or hot water. We, (I) decided to just bundle up and tough it out for the night. I laughingly told my wife if we could survive the cold in the Arctic Circle like we did last year, we could survive the cold in Mississippi . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2022/11/good-news-bad-news/

Yesterday I decided at the last minute to go sit on my deer stand and see if I could bag a big fat deer, primarily for a friend who has been under the weather who loves deer meat. Plus, my wildlife biologist wants me to thin the herd as well and I’ve only harvested three to date and I knew I needed to get busy to hit our goal of taking twenty . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2022/11/sweetest-victory/

A few years back a young lady called me for counseling, or in reality to complain about her husband. I knew the young man she was ridiculing and complaining about, and he is a good guy and loves his family very much. So maybe he has not attained the highest “social” status and his job is blue-collar, but he works hard every day makes a good honest living, and supports his family. She belittled him saying he did not want to improve his lot in life and made fun of him . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2022/11/give-me-a-break-2/

I got delivery of my new black lab last night and he is a handful. So much so that though I initially dubbed him Stormy, I am contemplating changing that name to Tornado. It has been a while since I owned a young dog . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2022/11/stormy-vs-tornado/

So, I thank this lady for her opinion, but she is in my opinion misguided. First, I do agree that Trump did a tremendous amount of good for our country, and I said as much in the post to which she refers, but I also think he has harmed our country and continues to do so with his divisive hateful rhetoric. I’m not being misled by the media as I have listened to his many speeches and even saw him mock a disabled reporter for Politico . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2022/11/paradox/

One of the most sickening results of our recent election that supersedes by a million miles Colorado’s legalization efforts of psychedelic mushrooms, the election of communist sympathizers who are hell-bent on destroying our country from within, and other travesties happened in the most unlikely place, Montana. I could understand it if it happened in California, Oregon. or New York, but Montana???? . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2022/11/blood-lust/

The midterms are over and yet we still do not know which party won the Senate or the House. By most accounts, it is a toss-up. At any rate, the Red Wave became a Red Trickle, and most people are blaming Trump as one of the main reasons that people were turned off, and in my opinion for good reason. I just don’t believe that most people are willing to listen to his self-serving- mean-spirited – foul-mouthed rhetoric anymore . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2022/11/dont-take-it-personally/

Well, it looks like the red wave was not so much a wave as a gentle ripple. It is hard to believe that so many people are on the diametric opposite side of the political spectrum as me. It seems that everything I am against, they support. I am exceedingly glad I’m living on my farm in Mississippi. People around this little community think similarly to me and I’m happy to be far away from any of the big city madness . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2022/11/calms-seas/
