On greyhound, 56 days on the road from Washington to DC then down to Florida and back through the southern states to California then up the coast to home I saw so many beautiful places in our great country.

My Mom, my older and younger sister, just us, we never had a problem, not one, no scary moments either, we all had a great time.

Can you imagine doing that today and getting away with it?.

I don't know what the answer to what's going on in our Country is or how to make it better.

But I know where to start, take our Country back in November, change a few laws pertaining to guns, change a few laws pertaining to elections and throwing citizens United in the trash is paramount.

Then we can get on to healing the disease that snowballed right around the time raygun took office.
