Hurricane Harvey proves that every household on flat land should have a boat and basic survival supplies.  If every cruise ship requires lifeboats shouldn’t all house owners have at least the knowledge that they should possess this equipment as well? This could occur when a mortgage is about to be signed, 2nd mortgage is applied for or even through a simple PSA announcement geared to those who own their own house. It’s time we prepare our citizens for the worst so that G-D forbid it occurs they will be prepared.

It’s not right I have no time to be angry… at work. I’m just too busy with other emotions especially exhaustion that anger has to wait for an appointment.  Maybe anger comes out in a break period but usually that’s time I have to eat just to keep going.  Well at least I have time for anger when I get home but oh no nobody took out the garbage. I guess it will have to wait for vacation time.

I understand the media are not the biggest fans of the President but when they attack the first lady’s heels they’ve stepped into their own mess and it isn’t pretty. While the rest of the country worries about the victims of Hurricane Harvey and applaud the united front to help it’s victims including the Administration some in the media worry about Melanie’s wardrobe choices. I for one give her credit because I couldn’t walk in her shoes literally even in the driest condition.  Yet was this really a story or is this just something meant to distract the American people who are seeing what a competent administration looks and walks like?

After the devastation Hurricane Harvey has brought on Texas will we have enough empathy to help the victims of it’s remnants in Louisiana.  Can the news media keep the coverage as strong when it hits Louisiana as a tropical storm or has the news story died before it even hits there?  Is it too many negative stories at once for our mind to conceive of and will we just switch the channel?  Let us do our best to continue to help those in need wherever this storm will hit and pray that the only death will come to Harvey itself.

At some point in our life we all can be drawn to the magnetism of a cult. For there are times when we seek a higher meaning to our “life’s” and purpose thereof and these groups can make us feel as if we are truly on a special plain. While others might ridicule us for spending monies, time and effort on such fruitless accomplishments they have no idea of what we have achieved for the “higher good”. After investing hours upon hours and hard earned $’s into this group it must work and if there are any difficulties they must come from within me. We have such great knowledge because we were willing to step further into this world even if it took days on end with little sleep to accomplish it.  While those outside continue to suffer for their lack of faith in this cause/movement.   To tell you the truth I’m sorta drawn in already and I haven’t even joined.

I went over the New Tappan Zee Bridge twice and the experience was breathtaking and smooth if only the named stayed the same.  I understand that Mario Cuomo was governor but the original bridge existed way before his time as they plan to tear this bridge down so why should the name be struck out of existence as if it never existed?  Why do we need to tear down history instead of add to it.  I’ve come to a solution that should please both sides  the bridge would be named the The New Tappan Zee Bridge when entering Rockland County and the Mario Cuomo Bridge when departing. This way history can be preserved as well as added to it as well.

We run in out of each other’s life’s as if the world is just a revolving door.  Sometimes it’s a simple greeting to a stranger other types it expands to an actual conversation yet in the end do we even have enough time to say goodbye?  In and out maybe it’s best because in the end we can’t marry the world or even be engaged.

The President should stay silent on the North Korean launch of missiles over Japan because sometimes silence can be more scary for a tyrant then words. It will create more fear in the heart of Kim Jung Un if President Trump says “we are exploring all options on our timetable” and nothing more. Of course our diplomatic core will expand on the sanctions already on his table but other actions he will never know where, when or how we will make a stand on.  Leave the cards in your hand Mr. President and G-D willing Kim Jung Un will learn it’s time to fold before any severe damage is done to him and his country.

Sometimes a loved must “step in it” to learn they will fall.  You can try to protect them all your life but until they take that step their ears and body might be closed to your advise.  A small fall might teach them that many times those with experience truly know where to walk and where they might fall.  Tough love is difficult but many will learn best from the ground looking up then walking through the clouds.

Last night an opposing view that was hard for me to accept helped  me bring new excitement a product that is currently in development.   For the viewpoint  took one of the basic concepts of this product and threw it into the unknown place but once I searched deeper it truly helped it find a bigger & better home. The truth is as hard as it is to listen to those with differing opinions on your beliefs, dreams and ideals it’s one of the key ingredients if you want it to be successful. If you are unwilling to be challenged while it’s still just words you might fall on your face when reality brings it to life. Challenging thoughts allow you to see your  vision and/or belief in a whole different light that if taken to heart can improve it so that the spotlight shines brighter for all to see.
