Just to let you know, it is uncertain how long I will be able to be back as freedombecki, but for some reason, my old computer logged me in, whereas the library computer did not. Yes, I'm still at the local library. Yes, I love USMB, quilts, zoo creatures, astronomy, birds, and winged beings of Lepidoptera. The political system does little to lift people's spirits lately, and I mourn when labor and leadership spur men and women to bitterly quarrel and wish bad on one another. I am cheered when people let peace on earth begin with themselves through giving up time to charitable pursuits, reconciling differences with others, and praying for America with the knowledge that our forbears did exactly that when creating the founding documents with the astonishing wish for all to live in a state of equality such that each person might pursue happiness through helping each other through thick and thin. That said, this is to friend, rival, and foe; may peace found your spirits and heaven your soul.
