We can discuss this and that, and I personally wish the election were next month. or say next November. That is not the way it goes. So much can happen between now and November 2020. I enjoy talking about it, but that is today's pleasure. In looking that events that can happen in the future, Sargent Shultz has it correct, "I know nothing."
..An example that I am not proud of, but that is OK. A young, very bright Afro-American U.S. Senator from Illinois declared his desire to be President of the U.S.A. about 12 years ago. Yes it was February 2007. Now I am from Illinois, and voted for the man, but to be honest, I didn't think that Obama had one chance in a million to get to the top job. I was totally wrong, but that is OK. Being wrong on that one is a "gift." Who knows what the future will bring..................The Shadow Knows....

...........oh no, so many don't know that reference, who or what was "The Shadow"...time to

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
