The past 4 years have been controversy after dilemma on a constant basis yet one thing has not changed and that is time continuing on. We all have had our jobs to do -bills to pay-family to take care of. People keep asking "where do we go from here?" To me the answer is simple.--Keep working-I am past retirement age but with kids at home well sitting around is not an option. No matter what our situation in life is we still have to deal with it. --Install a new floor in a bedroom -put The boys' pickup in the shop--Get the turkey out of the deep freeze.--- Thanksgiving day is coming up. Time still goes by. Seems like a long time ago I enlisted during the Asian war- Now my grandson who I adopted took the oath and enlisted in the Marines. He was just a preschooler sitting next to me shifting gears in my pickup for me yesterday. Nothing we can do will stop the steady passing of time. We have to keep focused on our lives or we will lose tack of what we have to do. Don't get caught up in unnecessary turmoil and media hype because it is all going to pass and be behind us. Well give it a try anyways-- wishing all the best here on OPP

Great post. Regardless of who sits in the WH it shouldn't affect our happiness and contentment.

Tom, I gotta say that's a mighty big load of wisdom right there!
I've been saying the same thing all along myself.
Life goes on, and we can't stop it. You gotta keep picking em up, and putting em down no matter what.
Life is too short for anger, and hatred because of differing opinions, even though every human is guilty of anger on occasion. I've seen you get your feathers ruffled just as you have seen me get my back up.
But at the end of the day, I believe us to be friends.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
You're a good man Tom!!
I do, and will always have great respect for you!!

I don't plan on being around here much for a while since I wear the blue suit with the bird on it, and this is our peak season. I have to work Thanksgiving, and maybe Christmas (hope not), but, I'll be gone for a while out serving America.
I'll sure miss a lot, but this is my job, and I have it to do.

God bless Tom, and keep doing what's right!
