T-Day

Three for Thanksgiving Day. It's been a tough year and I pray for all of us that it starts to get better.

Thanks, Or Something

Thanks to our great country, for finally getting one right!
Maybe, just maybe, there's a light at the end of the tunnel!
Even in these trying, scary and troubling times,
there are things to give thanks for.

But old Bill Lee might feel otherwise!

And things coulda worked out better on this T-Day past.

A National Tragedy

Three years ago today, Hurricane Katrina was born. The damage done to New Orleans and the Gulf area was horrendous. The response of our Government, (led by the worst president ever) was inadequate, shameful and criminal. The after effects of this disaster will last decades.
