I was 16. Absolutely transfixed by it.

But I was an early nerd, into science and history in school. So that whole era fascinated me. I even had a little plastic Gemini capsule “piggy bank”.

Good one!

Thank you!

In all my years, the business community often proves not to do the right thing until forced to. Either by public opinion or force of law or some kind of mostly external pressure.

Thank you!

Indeed indeed indeed!

That could be what our new granddaughter calls both of us.

Gramma ‘n’ Grampa Hippie.

I once overheard my then-high-school-age daughter tell a friend “my parents were hippies.”

Peace-Love-Dope!

Or the corollary to that statement:

“Compassionate CONservative” My ASS.

That side of the aisle wouldn’t know compassion if it took human form and kicked them IN the ass.

Fuck 'em.

Just FUCK ‘em.

By now, I’m afraid that’s about all I’ve got.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
