Vacation...All I Ever Wanted

With my job and health, we didn’t get to take a vacation this summer. I knew this quite a while ago, so I booked us one this last week. We went to Colorado Springs, and took the kids out of a couple days of school.

Crazy Dreams

I have always had crazy dreams.Maybe it is just me, but I learned a long time ago that sometimes when I am asleep I can take control of my dreams. Not every night, but sometimes when I am asleep I figure out in the dream that I am in the dream world.I’ve had dreams that come true.

Our country is headed down a path of fiscal disaster. The Biden-Harris administration has created high prices through their reckless spending. It’s contributed to a national debt of over $35 trillion. That’s over $266,000 per household. It’s a second mortgage for Nebraska families.

Well, the Democratic National Convention is in the rearview mirror. Chicago is still standing, though I think some of the protesters are still there.Vice President Kamala Harris is officially the nominee, though I do not know where she stands on many of the issues that are affecting our nation.

Wrong Number

I may have written about this before, but this week’s phone call takes the cake.There are Polk Counties in more states than just Nebraska. To top it off there is even an Osceola in Polk County, Wisconsin. I have googled them and wrote a list and keep it by my desk.
