Democracy

I liked this Dilbert cartoon. I try to never let facts interfere with my opinions. I am much like most of our political leaders in this regard.

I am glad tht the national election is over. Strange way to run a country, with a political campaign where you spend vast sums of money running down the other guy and party. If you tried to market a product like this no one would buy it, or they would dislike it after they purchased the item.

"No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."

11 November 1947, Winston Churchill

Coronado, San Diego, California

We flew back from Hawaii in a C-17 to Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. We drove back to San Diego to try to catch a flight to Key West, Florida. Weather was very bad, did not make the flight. Took a few interesting photos from the Naval Amphib Base, Coronado, and the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot. Saw Navy Seals and Marine Boots running.

Home, Sweet, Home, Ken. Marine Recruit Depot. We were there for a day and a half two days ago. I was there almost 50 years ago, living in one of these great Quonset Huts on Mess duty, after I finished Boot Camp in Parris Island, SC. I was still a private and afraid that a DI would drag me back into boot camp.
