Now we just need to, as they say, polish things up a bit. We skipped the Gala last night as in the end, although it would have been good to mingle with some other parents, we were tired, already supported the school, (would have been pressured into spending more) and don&#8217;t drink so it would have been a long evening watching people indulge for 5 or 6 hours. You see, when Lori gets home late Friday, which is usually the norm, by the time we blink, it&#8217;s Monday morning. Why do the weekends always go faster than the week?<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday Jag went to town to play basketball with a few friends and Ty was busy here at home. Mojo got into a little scuffle with the neighbor dog, who, you guessed it, wasn&#8217;t on a leash. I guess our neighbor said &#8220;let&#8217;s see if they get along&#8221;, however both dogs were males. Big mistake, so each of them have a few battle scars but are ok.<\/p>\n<p>The dems are getting scared. Boy are they angry people. There&#8217;s cases all across the Country of them vandalizing republican offices and worse, attacking Trump supporters, nice. I mean when did we get to a point where someone attacks someone else for their political beliefs? I feel like wearing a Trump hat and going into town and sitting around hoping some coward will attack me. I&#8217;m not the only one either. You see, most Trump supporters are not so much Trump supporters as Hillary haters. She is a criminal, no two ways about it. The more the dems do this kind of crap, the more people will vote for Trump. Funny they, thinking their so smart, don&#8217;t see this.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a famous black man named Thomas Sowell who is extremely well educated and respected who says the following, but before you discount or poo poo who he is, here&#8217;s a bit about him in case you don&#8217;t know who he is, (you should also read some of his books as he&#8217;s pretty darn smart.<\/p>\n<p><b>Thomas Sowell<\/b> (<span class=\"nowrap\"><span class=\"IPA nopopups\"><a title=\"Help:IPA for English\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Help:IPA_for_English\">\/<span title=\"'s' in 'sigh'\">s<\/span><span title=\"\/o\u00ca\u0160\/ long 'o' in 'code'\">o\u00ca\u0160<\/span><span title=\"'l' in 'lie'\">l<\/span>\/<\/a><\/span><\/span>; born June 30, 1930) is an American <a title=\"Economist\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Economist\">economist<\/a>, <a title=\"Social criticism\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Social_criticism\">social theorist<\/a>, <a title=\"Political philosophy\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Political_philosophy\">political philosopher<\/a>, and author.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently Senior <a title=\"Fellow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fellow\">Fellow<\/a> at the <a title=\"Hoover Institution\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hoover_Institution\">Hoover Institution<\/a>, <a title=\"Stanford University\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stanford_University\">Stanford University<\/a>.
