Sums it up for me, how about you?

This letter was sent by a 79 year old veteran in Washington state to his senators. I don’t know this gentleman, but he does exist and he did write this letter.  The words ring true with the sound wisdom of "We the People".

Here’s the letter:

April 3, 2013
Senator Patty Murray
Senator Maria Cantwell
Washington, DC, 20510

Dear Senator:

I have tried to live by the rules my entire life. My father was a Command Sergeant Major, U.S. Army, who died of combat related stresses shortly after his retirement. It was he who instilled in me those virtues he felt important - honesty, duty, patriotism and obeying the laws of God and of our various governments. I have served my country, paid my taxes, worked hard, volunteered and donated my fair share of money, time and artifacts.

If this fits into your decor don't you have something to do besides sit there reading my blog?

















Finally!  A sowing machine!

He hasn't made up his mind on the price.  He could start by removing a zero or two. 

I don't see any wires hanging so maybe it wasn't converted? My xray vision goggles are back at the office, darn, I'll have to pass on this one.




















This one is just Ewwwwwww~!

No wonder he didn't turn 
the lights on for this shot!









And the last one for today...

Run right over there with $500!












This can be stored in your garage until planting time in the Spring.  Everyone needs one with 4 doors, I only have a 2 door myself.
