You know, I have a simple Yamaha, nylon string guitar, and I like its tone; however, as I am learning far faster than a year ago, even though I spend less time at it, I want more guitars.

I played my first electric guitar the other day, and I was shocked much easier it is to work the fretboard's far easy action.

Don't get me wrong here, I will always love the sound of a well played acoustic guitar far more than an electric, but, I want an electric guitar ... and then I will probably want a 12 string. I damn sure have the calluses to handle that big boy.

I will, because, I always do.

The other night, I watched Liberal /Socialist/ Democrat Congressman Brad Sherman, from California, on Tucker, who just entered Articles of Impeachment against President Trump, say: "People are not stupid," which is a lie - Calif. Rep. Brad Sherman, himself, is verifiably stupid. That is without question.

One need only to have watched this ignorant non patriot participate on the Select Benghazi Committee to know how right I am.

We are all in envy ... at least one of us here.

Tom, we know where your heart lies, and it is well appreciated here at BCN.

When someone may argue that Beaufort County NOW lends too much credence to a more Conservative outlook, I can always point to Tom Campbell as the counter balance.

BCN works diligently to stay away from the Fake News, Tom wants to cover over it, but that is his 1st Amendment right, and we celebrate that expressed difference.

Great explanation. I just got a bit excited when I read the decaffeinated.

Absolutely!

I have a solution for forgetfulness: Move slower at times when you have more than one thing going on that you are responsible for.

I also have a solution for your coffee ritual: Throw out, or donate your designer coffee percolator, get your a man size machine, stay away from spring water and de-cafe, man-up and drink a dark brew that revs your motor to the point that you remember everything - even the stuff that your wife thinks is important, which can be really weird.

That is why I include them in BCN. The Jock Locke group, including the Carolina Journal are a treasure trove of archived information for BCN's readers.

With all the Fake News these days, one can never be too short on facts.

Diane, once again, you have captured the essence of the struggle to birth this nation; a difficult, hard labor born of sacrifice built upon the foundation of patriotism and wisdom.

Thank-you for your reflection on a time that must never be forgotten, or diminished by the ambivalence of those coasting on the sacrifice of others.

CNN is truly the Fake News hosted by a gaggle of wimps.

CNN is so apoplectic over the Trump wrestling video, where the CNN logo was superimposed over the head of Vince McMahon (remember the silly Battle of the Billionaires - I seem to remember this stuff), they have expended great time, treasure and energy to discover the guy who crudely superimposed that logo over Billionair Vince's head. CNN's modus operandi: They threatened the internet perpetrator with CNN style "Thought Police" until he relented, took down the video and others that are offensive to Liberals and other consumers of Fake News, and now ...

The "hard hitting journalists of the CNN (Clinton News Network) can go back to the real Fake News of All things Russia All the Time.

This is the great example of what the Orwellian Democrat Media looks like.

Franklin really had the gift of words, just like Winston Churchill nearly 2 centuries later.

Great analogy, and I would also contend that they would have used whatever means necessary to reach as many people as they could, to whatever extent they were capable.

If not for the politics, for the women. Both men, especially Franklin, were rather amorous.

He was a great man because his son thought so, and that is high praise: beaufortcountynow.com

I get why your father threw out the image of your mother, and I find it a bittersweet moment poignant purpose to do so. I have been married for 38 years, and I get you dad's impulse.

Good post on the pros and cons of an Apprenticeship program.

Personally speaking, I would be reluctant to train anyone unless they were well motivated toward the longevity of a commitment to the precept of what we do.

Correctamundo Old Friend.

It is not so much who controls the polls, but who controls the ballot box; long a Democrat maxim. I Our of my 5 general election victories, I had one recount, whereby I was challenged when I only won by about 45 votes. When it looked like I would prevail against the Democrat Board of Election, the local Democrat Newspaper - The Washington Daily News - wrote an editorial stating: "If Stan Deatherage really cared about the county taxpayer, he would concede and not unduly cost the already strapped taxpay for the cost of the recount."

I reiterate, I'm the candidate that won the race and was challenged.

I tend to have a very honest understanding of the Democrat /Liberal mind; and, you know, 'a mind is a terrible thing to waste'.

Fine work B.T. on giving us the politically scientific overview.

What may be the case here in Georgia's 6th District may translate into these very poor election results turning even worse if the Democrats continue down their monolithic path of destroying President Trump at all costs.
