Memorial, Blitz and Dance

How are you?

Today was memorial day. I woke up at 11, and found that my dad was back from New Jersey. He brought us New Jersey bread, which was delicious. For brunch, I had a butter sandwich. You see if you have really good bread, all you need on it is butter.

I ended up falling asleep outside with my ukulele. It was relaxing, but I woke up with bugs in my nose, which is never nice. After this, I went out bike riding with my sister. I don't have a bike, so I rode my mom's. That's right, I rode around Keene on a girls bike.

When I got home, I started the BBQ. I worked over it diligently for the next 2 hours cooking various delicious things. After dinner, which went on for a long time, my brother and I went to Surry dam to walk the dog and when we got home we watched a TV show with the family about food during the Blitz in England.

Here I am at the computer and trying to think of something interesting to tell you, which I seem unable to do. The only thing I can think of is a group I recently heard of called Drive55. Their goal is to lower the speed limit on interstates to 55. I think this is absolutely ridiculous.. If you want to conserve gas by driving slower, then why not do it and encourage others to do the same. Waving the power of the Federal government at anyone who disagrees with your brand of environmentalism is ridiculous. You are now legally able to drive 55, however annoying it can be when you make someone late for an airport pickup, or a hospital visit.. I guess this is just personal opinion and not constitutionally based, but I really hate that mindset. Right now, the only way I can think of that the Federal government has been used in this way for good is with the Civil Rights Act. There are probably others.... I honestly would not be annoyed by this organization if they did not stand for the very same use of government that will inevitably lead to the further reduction of personal freedom... That is about all.. Goodnight.
