Did you get marr...10-year-old great granddaughter? Did you get married in middle school or something? ;)<br /><br />Impressive! And good for her that she's got good sense! We raise them and set them free and hope for the best, and sometimes we get lucky and sometimes we get antivaxxers. Sigh.<br /><br />I suspect I will be lucky to see a 10-year-old granddaughter, let alone great-granddaughter. The demographics are what they are. But I will enjoy the time I have with the people I have.<br /><br />Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-14503758073695567082020-06-10T16:29:56.791-05:002020-06-10T16:29:56.791-05:00MMmmmmMMM! - Marsh Melons.

And is light years ahead of her grandmother's elder sister.<br /><br />I tried. I really did! Honest!! But I refuse to accept responsibility for what happened after they left home to go out and lose their way in the world.<br /><br />[Jeebus!

American culture isn't bui...Yeah, pretty much.<br /><br />American culture isn't built on delayed gratification. We've not had any collective sacrifice for a larger goal in 75 years and we've forgotten the fact that rights are meaningless without responsibilities.<br /><br />There are good people here, but I'm not surprised we've failed that test as a culture.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-51381288502066397582020-06-10T05:07:55.832-05:002020-06-10T05:07:55.832-05:00"We are not a species built to last."
