Where Vernon J BREAKS his news
The keynote of American civilization is a sort of warm-hearted vulgarity. The Americans have none of the irony of the English, none of their cool poise, none of their manner. But they do have friendliness. Where an Englishman would give you his card, an American would very likely give you his shirt.

The word of the day is fussbudget which is a fussy or needlessly fault-finding person. Don’t be a fussbudget.
So apparently the mail carrier has been sending my mail back. Now why world she do that? After some careful research we’ve determined why. She wrote only one name on the box & it wasn’t what the fix says.
It is not my fault that certain so-called bohemian elements have found in my writings something to hang their peculiar beatnik theories on.

So there was no big part yesterday. I maybe got out the couch 4 or 5 times. 1 time was to go brush my teeth & them go to bed. The rest was to replenish my digestive system. Cause sitting on the couch takes energy apparently.
I watched the NASCAR race, great job drivers. Kyle Busch got his first win if the season. Tough day at the track though; lots of blown tires. Just think this time in less than six weeks I’ll have seen my first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. I’m so excited
The word of the day is philately which is the collecting of stamps and other postal matter as a hobby.
How was your weekend?
A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It’s a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.
