A frustrating summer

I suppose I should be glad that it's over, because this has been one of the most frustrating summers of my life. To add insult to injury, my laptop died Saturday morning as I was preparing to leave to visit my father. I ended up ordering a new one, which should be here later this week. But I have spent an insane amount of money in the last couple months, and I'll have two large tax bills coming due this month, so I am not happy about having to buy a laptop. My car required more than a thousand dollars of work on Friday.

I never got to the beach. Maybe next year.

Just so you know

I think the President's proposal to attack Syria is insane, and see nothing good coming from it. This attack has no legitimate military purpose that I can see, and seems to be intended to make the Obama administration look tough. That's a poor excuse to kill people, and this man's hands are already drenched in blood from his other adventures.

I was already deeply disappointed in Barack Obama; historians are going to have a field day speculating on how such a brilliant person could turn out to be so ineffective as a President.

I'm starting to think the boys need to have their toys taken away. Millions for defense, but not one cent for aggression.
