Armed Forces day was yesterday and was honored in many ways, by many folks and organizations. Locally it went off without a hitch.

Unlike World War Two when citizens had to sacrifice to help the war effort by doing with less, the market place has effectively done the same now. Gas and food prices appears to be lowering people’s travel plans for the Memorial holiday and beyond. The typical Norman Rockwell trip through Americana style landscapes is being taken by less. This is a small price to pay in comparison to prior wars, but a hardship for some nonetheless. I think it will be an adjustment, but most folks will overcome when they realize the small sacrifice that they are making whether by their will or without when compared to what you over there go through daily. We will be OK; the place you left will be here upon your return…

The weather has been very wet this month. It looks like the wetness may break this week and get us back to normal temperatures for this time of year. Soon, all who are going to, will be headed out for the well-deserved summer vacation. It would be good for the economy, and the children who are the ones who miss out when times get hard. I see a wonderful summer ahead.
