As I got more and more involved in photography and the whole political/economy scene was becoming more and more heated, less and less productive, I took all mention or discussion of them off my blog simply because I didn't want to fight with anyone and because it was taking away the joy I found in blogging. But today for the first time in well over a year I read an article that confirmed what I've been wanting to believe, but was afraid I was just being Ms Pie-in-the-Sky as I've frequently been called. The article is by a favorite of mine, Paul Krugman, New York Times Op-Ed columnist, and while I'm not going to discuss it here, I would like to recommend it to those of you who perhaps have some of the same fears and misgivings that I have had.
And now I shall take up my camera and return to the skies and all the beauty there is to enjoy!

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.

When the man is right, he's right. Please God, enough in Congress will see it that way.
Sylvia;
I have also stopped talking politics on my blog. I am just so tired of Congress that I could puke. I'm not quite at the "throw the bums out yet" stage.
I think because I want to believe!
So call me a pie in the sky kind of girl too.
Have a wonderful weekend fried.
That should be required reading for every member of congress. Thanks for pointing it out.
Oh, is it good news? Boy, do I need to hear that! (or read it! Thanks for the tip!)
Nice deviation..I'm of the opinion that once in a while, you delve into opinions regarding the state of affairs in the country..
Have a great weekend.

Thanks for the link Sylvia! I used to enjoy politics but when did it become so darned divisive? I wish we could just tear out the political process and start from scratch... but what hope is there of that?
Enjoy your pictures and big blue sky!
:-D
You are right, Sylvia. Great minds do run in the same channels. I'm so glad that you posted a link to Paul Krugman's column because I think it should be required reading for all doubters.
I usually end up posting part of Krugman's columns be is so logical and he is for the single payer system. While we won't see that in our lifetimes, it will have to come eventually.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It was a wonderful read and clarified plenty :) Well at least the water isn't so muddy in my eyes LOL :)
I'm glad you posted this (although I missed it until just now). I have my fingers crossed for things to happen at the special session this weekend. I hope Krugman is right. Congress just has to get something done!
I just can't think about politics -- especially this issue -- too overtly (if that makes sense) in my life because I get so upset with so many people whom I otherwise enjoy.
Like you, I write much less on my blog and share many more photos these days ... but it's good to pass such information along. Thanks for this link!
Hugs and blessings,
