 Blue Star Memorial

Highway Marker

Relocation!

Many of the readers of My Blog are aware that My Bride is the Garden Club of Georgia Blue Star Marker (BSM) and Gold Star Marker (GSM) Chairperson.  Additionally she also serves as the Camellia District BSM and GSM Chairperson!

Recently she has been very involved in the relocation of the Blue Star Memorial Highway Marker at the Rest Area at the I-475 By-Pass here in Bibb County Georgia.

The pictures shown above were taken on 20 October at the original placement of the marker.

She ordered a new pole and coordinated with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GOT) to have the Marker placed in a more visible location at this Rest Stop.  The following pictures were taken on 17 November 2020 when the relocation was accomplished.

You can see that this Marker needs some renovation.  This will be accomplished in early 2021.  

 

An Interesting Reason

on

Why I Should Vote

for 

a Specific Candidate!

Recently I observed a Georgia U. S. Senate Candidate's Commercial on why I should vote for a specific individual!

Our former President was suggesting that I should vote for a candidate simply because he would listen to the "Doctors" when it came to working to cure the current Covid-19 Pandemic.  This particular candidate has a spouse who is a Doctor.  What this former President did not tell us is that the Doctor in this situation is a GYN specialist.  I have nothing but respect for this specialty, however I would suggest that consulting a Doctor who is a gynecologist for advice on Covid-19 treatment or prevention may not be all that appropriate.  As I understand it, a gynecologist is a doctor who specializes in women's reproductive health.  

I hope that I do not become a Covid-19 patient, but if that should happen I would seek the care from a Doctor who is well versed in treatment of a male.  I would like to point out now that this is the type of body I have, although not as presentable as this Statue of David:

Therefore I will ignore our former President's Campaigning comment regarding on who I should vote for in the upcoming Georgia U. S. Senate run-off election which is 5 January 2021.

In conclusion as I post this I would urge all Fellow Georgians to research the background of each candidate via trustworthy sites rather than just listening the plethora of Media Ads that we are currently being exposed to on an hourly basis.  Additionally, the U. S. Postal Service must surely be able make up for any budget shortfall as they fill my mailbox with all the printed Campaign Literature that is being delivered on a daily basis.  

In summary, the next few weeks should be very interesting!!!

 

Cry, Cry, Cry and Cry

Some More!!

The other evening I was viewing the Evening News.  The focus on the problems on distributing the Vaccine for the Covid-19 treatments/prevention caused the Anchor to express concern about how this would be accomplished in a timely and effective manner.  Not a very positive message which caused me to develop the title for this post.

However, I quickly recalled on how our United States of America reacted after the Attack on Pearl Harbor which happened on 7 December 1941.  Our Citizens and our Leaders  at all levels worked together to Win World War II.  We build ships, airplanes and tanks as well as trained our Soldiers, Marines, Coast Guard People and our Sailors to do their task using the basic concept of teamwork.  I even recall how us Post Toddler Farm Kids were able to pick milkweed pods for the fibre so that life vests could be produced.  

We even build Ocean worthy Ships to transport troops across the Seas to Europe, Africa and the Far East.  I have heard that we launched as many as three ships a day.  Some were consstructed on the East Coast and some on the West Coast.

Some of us have heard of "Rosie the Riveter" who worked in the ShipYards to replace males who were needed in the Military.

This all happened in the early 1940s without all of the technology we have today.  Yet our Citizens did it.  We had the famous "Manhatten" project which helped end the War.  Some may say many lives lost, but the facts are clear that if the War had continued many more lives would have been lost.

So today, December 2, 2020 we have those among us who question the ability of our United States of America to effectively transport Covid-19 Vaccine in a rapid and efficient manner.  I submit that it can be done!  What we do not need is our Media to tell us that it can not be done.  We have done far more complex task in our Past and with the tools we now have at our disposal now, today, I would submit that when we learn to work as a Team for the Good of All Peoples we can accomplish what some among us consider to be impossible.

So stop the crying.  No need for that.  Simply develope a positive attitude and remember what we have accomplished in our Nation's Past and expect our Citizens and Leaders to now work together as a Team!!!   I say it can and must be done!!
