Alot of thought given...

I have given both candidates my ear for the run for The President of the United States, and after exploring both histories and methodologies of the two candidates, I have made a choice that astounds even myself.
John McCain has a very impressive record of accomplishment in life. He has gone through adversity with courage and a measure of dignity. He has served as a public servant in the U.S. Senate and fought for what he believes in. And I can see his agenda. Another run at failed policies that have driven our country into poverty for the majority, and wealth beyond belief for a select few. Himself included.
Barack Obama came from hard work and dignity from a mixed background. He has shaken the hands of the poor, and the wealthy. He is young, and enthusiastic. And made a statement at his acceptance speech that sticks to me very well.
"Change doesn't come from Washington. It comes TO Washington."
He is not the son of an Admiral of the U.S. Navy.
He did not forsake his committment to his wife, to exploit the resources of a younger woman.
And he is surrounding himself with the people who fill the gap of inexperience, and listens to them.
I will cast my vote for the best candidate. And that candidate IS Barack Obama!
Now ask yourselves....Do you want a President who was a "Party Animal"? One who has the influence of George W. Bush, and oil executives as his guidence. Or do you want a President who comes from hard work, and fire in the belly for all peoples. I know what way I'm going, and I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday. I drove it.
And on a side note...I used to be Republican. Not anymore, unless the Bush family, or McCain families become Democrat.
I just want a better life for me and my family.
Be well all.

Another New Gig

Well...Ol Barn got another gig. There is my new truck. It is owned by Maxey Manufacturing, and I will be the Captain for it. Mostly the 11 Western United States with an occaisional trip to Up State New York.
I will be home on the weekends and telling the tales of the open road, so tune in all!
Be well.
