I applaud you for talking about your feelings. Not always an easy thing for men to do & I always gain a lot of respect for someone when I see them being honest with their feelings. There are both men & women who would never admit a 'down' day if it stepped up & slapped them in the face!! Now, get a big smile on your face & go out there & gently kick some butt around!! Politics is not my game so I never go there nor do I ever offer a public opinion. But, I will say this.....Arizona is a fine State just as the rest of the States are & whatever can happen here can happen anywhere & that includes our country of Canada as well. I would never avoid going to a State or Province just because of it's political views. This is a beautiful land we all live in so lets flush all that political 'stuff' down the drain & get out & enjoy what we have....while we can. This is not going to last forever:((Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585083146261174706.post-2293090019994534812011-01-12T14:13:51.608-07:002011-01-12T14:13:51.608-07:00Beautiful picture of your rig and those covers are...Beautiful picture of your rig and those covers are nice ones.

Never saw so many flags and bikes. Funny thing no protesters showed up.I believe in the freedoms we have fought for, but I think protesting at a funeral steps over the line of common decency and it should have regulations prohibiting it.Having served in an armed position all my life I can't help but think how many more crazies would be out there if it weren't for the young men & women serving in law enforcement today. Mike you've been there and done that, Thanks, buddy. Be safe out there.

The reason was pretty simple - the inflamed rhetoric we were hearing on radio talk shows and the rise in anger and hatred of those with opposing political views. It just seemed to me to be too volatile a mix.<br /><br />I'm not going to step into the quagmire of guessing who or what's to blame for this tragedy as minds seem set in stone on this. I'm just watching and listening to the reactions - some calling for civility and understanding while others continue to rant, rave and preach anger and hate. Judge for yourself.<br /><br />As for me, I'm comfortable with our decision to avoid Arizona this year. I had hoped a tragedy like this would never occur and like you am terribly saddened. I can't, however, say I'm totally shocked by it.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585083146261174706.post-85471571894016420032011-01-12T08:54:51.777-07:002011-01-12T08:54:51.777-07:00Thank you for the welcome.

It wasn't a political act, but I think folks don't speak up because it can be politicized. I didn't speak of it, even though it was the first thing on my mind when I wrote last.

We all here what's going on but no one in their right mind would react like that. It is ok for you to dump here we understand. As for the protestors they should be ashamed!

I couldn't agree more with you...Hey Pop's,<br /><br />I couldn't agree more with your blog this morning. Guns don't kill people people kill people. No funeral should ever be protested and a lot of states are passing laws making it illegal to protest. More laws that we don't need but none the less needed to keep ignorant individuals from adding to the pain families are dealing with when losing a love one. Ok enough of that. We will be seeing y'all soon and we both cannot wait for those big hugs.<br /><br />Love & Miss Y'all<br />Your KidsAll Because Two People Fell In Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267871567464754171noreply@blogger.com
