A fairy ring walk

OK. I'm trying to avoid a political rant here, because, by this time, adding my opinion seems superfluous. This government shutdown is messed up, but I am still here with the heart of an unbeliever, feminist, socialist, hanging on to the hope that we're going to come to our senses, and realize that we do need equality in this old US, and vote for people who will have the common decency to make that happen.

(It was a mushroom fairy ring, in the pines, and there were many more of them).

Susan said...: We need to elect an equal number of women as men to Congress, to represent women. Sad to say, women, especially, are not being well served by the male dominated legislative bodies. Oh, and the ERA, does anyone else recall that bit of unfinished business? RAnt, rant, rant....; October 11, 2013 at 5:08 PM

I agree that a change is needed (and long over due) in our government..... too many 'good 'ol boys' in there. Like big fat Colorado River Toads gobbling up everything and not caring about their constituents.
More women in office would be nice.... however the system as it stands right now seems to corrupt men and women alike.; October 16, 2013 at 1:08 AM

Susan said...: Julie, haha. Big fat Colorado river toads. Works for me

Cindy, Breathe. Looks like they've cooked a deal. This was just awful.; October 17, 2013 at 12:25 AM

Velma Bolyard said...: that's BAD tick, not back--; October 19, 2013 at 7:11 AM
Susan said...: Velma, Bad tick is right. Right here we had a lot in midsummer. Lately the cats have been. Coming in with engorged wood ticks. I haven't seen deer ticks (on me) for a couple of months. I go out in the woods, so I expect to pick them up. Are you seeing lots of them?.; October 19, 2013 at 11:59 PM
