Maybe it’s our education system, maybe it’s the propaganda news, but so many Americans have no idea what the rest of the world is like, that they can’t see the many things America has gotten right, only the problems. And they think that those can be fixed with riots and violence.
Way back in the day, 1965 or so, my family, 3 kids and 2 parents, lived in Spain. We brought a blunderbuss, a long gun with the tip flared out, as a gift for my uncle in Minnesota. I don’t remember the details of the flights, but it wasn’t til the last flight, that anyone said anything about it. We 3 kids, none older than 14, Each took turns carrying the thing around the airports and onto and off of planes. Boarding the last flight, a stewardess objected. Discussion ensued, the captain agrees to hold it in the cockpit for the duration of the flight. Upon landing, he asked my dad if he could buy it from him.
TLDR- as a child in the early 60s, I carried a blunderbuss through airports and on airplanes as hand luggage pretty much unchallenged.
I was planning to come either by myself or with my SIL. Unfortunately Dec. 30, I tripped over my black lab in the dark and broke my patella, knee cap bone. On crutches, wearing a brace gadget to keep knee still, so I’ll be cheering you on from home! Rally, support Geotus, protect our country, protest the deep state and stop the steal, and befriend the other patriots there. You can do it!
Prayers for your family. Will they let you be in the operating room during the c-section? Oh wait, of course not, Covid!!!!! I think my husband wasn’t too nervous during both of mine because he was so busy verifying whether or not my bladder was actually the size of a pea.
This kind of weather in Texas and Louisiana is very unusual. We are prepared for hurricanes. Is Idaho prepared for something very unusual like a hurricane?
