Morning all. sunny and humid. Had showers yesterday evening/night. Refreshed garden. Busy day.
Congrats Faraway.
Interesting to hear all the noise about the Stars and Bars [Confederate battle flag]. I had never viewed it as a race issue. To me and my family, it was our heritage. Talking to some of my black friends, I now understand what they are saying. They also understand me. Seems it was used by the mean whites as their symbol. On the flip side. A black pastor in Durham wants all blacks to lower the US flag and fly the Black Liberation flag on the 4th. Works both ways. As I said, sit down and talk. Then understand each others views and respect each other. News media would stay out of it, things would work out.
On the gun side. Congressman Butterfield from NC want to introduce a bill that would give prison sentence to anyone who transferred a gun or sold a gun to anyone who commits a crime with that weapon. Stupid.
Later.
