Irony

Irony, thy name is government. This does make a statement doesn't it? 5 million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their Medicare, Part D, drug plan------they are old and confused. We are not going to grant them an extension. However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our coun try and we are going to allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support monies, attend schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our teachers take 300 hours of ESL (English as a Second Language) training at our expense,etc. We must hate old people.... or we really love tacos!

Rob

I met Robbie in '66 or '67 during a spanish class. He was already a celebrity of
sorts. Small in statue, big of heart with an easy smile and always a quick wit. He was
a star on the football team and played his guitar at various places, professionally.

I will miss him. I cannot fathom the physical pain he must have been suffering. Emotional pain,
I can relate, having been widowed once and divorced twice.

After high school and a tour for me with uncle sam's adventure and vacation package, we met up at the local community college (Armstrong State). I remember him being happy go lucky
yet focused on his education. I think he was playing at the Port Royal in the evenings. He loved
his music and the fringe benefits which came with being a good musician and playing on river street.

I will never forget Rob, and miss him every day!
