Belated Happy Birthdays to Susan and Mary. We hope they were days to bring smiles to your faces and warmth to your hearts, with family, loved ones and the celebratory foods of your choice. We'd like to see both of you at our 60th Reunion this coming August.
Meanwhile, I was in Michigan and electronically incommunicado, but down here in North Carolina one of our local communities had a Drag Queen event of some sort. I don't know if it was a parade, party, movie, or whatever, but the Bible Thumpers came out to protest. There were some unkind words on either side. Then, there was a coordinated, simultaneous attack on 3 power stations, shutting them all down for a few days. No heat, electricity, etc.. There are ongoing investigations by Duke Energy (Security), Fort Bragg (Security, domestic terrorism and preparedness), FBI (Domestic Terroriism), State Troopers (Whodunnit?) Local Sheriff Departments (Whodunnit?) and Local Police Departments (Whodunnit?). None of them are sharing any findings with the populace which doesn't keep us from speculating. The media is outdoing itself with farfetched imaginations, but virtually all of them related to the Drag Queen/Bible Thumpers conflict. I'd like to say this was exciting but being incomunicado again without lights, heat, cooking facilities, etc. was inconvenient not dramatic. 'Tis the season to be jolly and kind, even to Drag Queens.
