Greetings,  

Since I last wrote on 13 May 2023 in My 22nd letter I as a U. S. Citizen and a U. S. Navy Veteran have been doing a lot of thought on why we as a Nation, the United States of America, has been experiencing such a difficult time here in the 2020s!

During My life I have observed many fellow peoplekind that I would classify as enablers.  I looked the definition of the word “enabler” and this is what I found:

en·a·bler as a Noun:

a person who encourages or enables negative or self-destructive behavior in another.

"being an enabler to an addict does more harm than good"

It is my opinion that anytime you enable an “abuser” you are devaluing your own values and principles.   I have witnessed many of My peers and also Your  peers enable others.  There are some among us, including Myself, that feel that we have a good number of enablers in the Very Highest levels of Government.

Why else do we have a shortage of vital supplies to conduct any potential war/s?  This is just one example.  There are many other concerns and challenges that we as a Nation have not met simply because someone is usually making an excuse for anyone/s or any organization/s poor performance.

I recall watching many “History Channel” programs on what our Nation accomplished in a very short time span to Win World War II.  Yet today we cannot even meet such a simple challenge a producing enough bullets to help Ukraine without depleting our supply should we need bullets to keep our own U.S.A. safe and secure.

In fact I have recently learned that we cannot even keep our own White House secure.  We all know that is the temporary home of our Commander-in-Chief.  This is a shocking development.

I close today, as I also closed My letter of 13 May 2023:

“Wishing You a Safe and Healthy Future as You Serve Us –“We the People.””

Warm regards.

The Fourth of July 2023

at

Luther Williams Ball Park

A great evening for Baseball in Macon, Georgia.  We attended this Game using our Tickets on the All You Can Eat Program.  

After the very filling meal we took the opportunity to pose at the Special Fourth of July Backdrop prior to entering the Stadium.

Pior to the end of the First Inning I took these pictures of the Teams in their respective Dugouts.

The First Inning Batter for the Bacon was Antonio (Tony) Brown a Player who Attends Mercer University here in Macon.  He is a Base Stealer who reminds me of Vince Coleman who played in Macon many years ago and at the Major League Level for the Saint Louis Cardinals.

During the Game Bacon Players closely watched their Teammates.

It was a long game but the Macon Bacon broke the tie in the Ninth Inning and Won 10 to 9.  Many pitching changes and the between the innings family entertainment made for a very fun filled evening.  

The crowning event of the evening was the terrific Fire Works display which was enjoyed by all including the visiting players who assembled on the field to watch!!

My Pictures except for the one above were taken on My Bride's or My Camera.  The Macon Bacon Players shown above was taken from the Bacon Facebook Page.

Conclusion - A perfect Fourth of July Event which was most enjoyable!!!
