Got an emergency book call from Jean C., my library lady in New Gretna (well, I guess I'm the library lady, she's the library shut-in). Picked her up some books, dropped them off, and stayed to chat for a few minutes. When I returned her used books, I withdrew Leisureville, a book about "The Villages," a huge over-55 community in Florida. According to Susan, who's read it, activities there include tennis, swimming, and wild sex. HU-H-H?! Gee, it must be just like here--yuk, yuk. Can't wait to get to that part.
Marge e-mailed to see if we could go to lunch today, assuming her insomnia doesn't knock her out. Hope to, and I thought we go to Lizzie Rose, which she'll enjoy. Have a date with Mary Ann for lunch tomorrow, so the social scene is heating up.
Hope the new medication is knocking out Pat's new respiratory problem.
Political Note (from the Lew Rockwell site, a treatise on whether government should be required to follow the same rules as individuals):
"That the government should be bound by the same laws – immutable laws of God (or nature, for the irreligious among us), not the made-up "laws" of the state – as the rest of us is the central libertarian insight, which is why those of us who take libertarianism to its logical conclusion reject the state completely. It is an institution founded on violence and owes its very existence to theft, which it euphemistically calls taxation.
Christians should thus be among the most vocal opponents of the state because we believe that God makes the rules and that no one, regardless of his exalted position by virtue of birth or of hoodwinking enough people into voting for him, has the authority to modify, abolish, or flout those rules. The Bible makes no distinction between the ruler and the ruled, and neither should we."
Makes sense to me.
