Change is not always good

So now we have our new President duly sworn in and installed in the White House. This is the man who promised America that we will change because of his leadership. I hope that all this change will be for the better, because not all change is good.

For example, our fair city has been growing by leaps and bounds these past few years. A lot of people are moving here from California and from Florida, as well as a gazillion Mexicans. I am not pointing that out as a racist comment. I’m just saying that Nashville is not the same place it was 10 years ago. The population and demographics have changed.

We now have our jails half full of Mexican men who drive drunk, get in knife fights at bars and restaurants, and beat their women and children. The other half is pretty much black men who rob convenience stores and liquor stores, participate in drive by shootings at black nightclubs and in the black neighborhoods, steal cars, and beat their women and children. The handful of white guys in jail are mostly for DUIs, robbing banks, and killing their wives or girlfriends.

It sure didn’t used to be this way 10 years ago and this is one change that I do not like and want to see these problems be made to go away. I don’t think President Obama gives a rats ass about the jails in Nashville, TN but I sure would like to see him make some changes here.

A Nice Mug of Hot Chocolate

This afternoon I shopped at the new Publix grocery instead of the Kroger by my house. It was a very nice store, with alot of brands that I don’t usually see at the Kroger.

I especially like the section for hot chocolate. The Publix carries several different brands of hot chocolate mix, including the Land O’Lakes exotic flavors. They were even on sale for 59 cents a packet! So I stocked up on the milk chocolate mint, the dark chocolate rasberry and the caramel chocolate flavors.

Let it Snow!

The weather has been cold but we’ve not been blessed any snow on the ground yet. I love to watch the snow fall. I hope we have some snow this yet. The weatherman is calling for snow showers and flurries just about every day this day. It never lasts long but it sure is pretty for a day or two with snow covering everything and making the outdoors a white wonderland.
