Johnny Cash said it best!   I’ve been everywhere.   Being in the military I have traveled the world and learned and experienced numerous things while living abroad.    I have lived a life that most haven’t.   There are some in the military haven’t experienced what I have.   I got to live overseas for about 12 years and almost ten with my wife.   Living in the UK was fabulous. I have seen many fine works are art, the crown jews, Stonehenge, and Buckingham Palace to name a few. Then, living in Germany was great too.   Seeing castles, tasting the food, learning about some things from WWII, and the countryside is beautiful.   I would love to go back because there is so much more to experience.   In my travels, I have been and to so many iconic places, such as Notre Dame, the Eifel tower, I have seen the Mona Lisa, and Gaudi’s cathedral. I have even been in two places at once.   I got to stand on the Prime Meridian.   All while working for Uncle Sam.   Now that I’m older, I’m going bac

Why is it when politician run for officer there is something wrong with their character?  They are supposed to represent the people but instead, they represent themselves.  I see them debate about how they want to change or start something for whatever reason and there are times when I think... what in the hell does that have to do with representing the people?
