A COUPLE OF RANDOM OBSERVATIONS

JUST SITTING HERE THINKING.  OK, THAT'S ENOUGH LAUGHING OUT OF YOU. I DO THINK ONCE IN A WHILE.  I have came up with a couple of thoughts.
1.  You know that feeling. You make a lit of items you need at the store. You go to get JUST those items and then your cart is half full before you get to any thing that is on the list.  Ever do that?
2.  Today a new swinging bridge was opened in Switzerland.  It is a swinging bridge and it replaces an old one that was damaged by rock slides.  It is 1,650 feet long and goes between two cities in Southern Switzerland. The cities of Zermatt and Grachen.  If not for the bridge, it would take people two days to hike from one city to another.  Check it out on Bing or Google. Would you walk that bridge?  Or take the two day hike?
I THINK THAT WOULD REPLACE ANY CARNIVAL THRILL RIDE AND PROBABLY BE SAFER.   AND THAT'S THE VIEW FROM THE DITCH BANK

WHERE DO YOU FIT

OK, WE ARE NOW AROUND 7 MONTHS IN THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.  I have watched and observed what is going on in Washington and around the country. I have came to a few conclusions.  I will mention some of them at this time.  I feel there are three different groups of people out there. I am sure there are more, but I am going to focus on just three.

1st.  There are those who wanted Hillary at all costs, and they are now doing all they can to bring Trump down.  It doesn't matter what Trump does, it will be wrong to them.
2nd.  There are those who wanted Trump to be elected at all costs. And it doesn't matter what he does or says, they will support him regardless and are spewing just as much hate and discontent as the ones that are listed in number 1.
3rd.  There are those who voted for Trump because they were tired of the Clintons and their shenanigans and chose Trump of Hillary for that reason. They didn't really like Trump, but they liked Hillary even less.  I find myself in the third group.  I not vote for Trump in the Primary election and in the remote chance that he makes it for 4 years and runs again, I probably won't vote for him in the Primary again.  But time will tell on that one.
4th. And last for this post.  Now Trump is the President.  I wish that congress would work with him on the issues.  I wish he would work with congress in the issues. I wish he would stop with the tweets and the placing of blame and the pointing of fingers and the retaliation against those that attack him and just get on with the business of running the country. And I wish the media would be a little more accurate with their reporting.
