Why do I think the debate last night was a tie?
I thought they both ignored the real issues that face this country. I would like to see more discussion as to the real root cause of inflation. That would be a good start. I also thought there wasn’t any pressure to respond to the questions directly or dispute the claims of the other candidate. Did this administration stop tariffs or not? Will she continue the tariffs if this administration didn’t? The financial plans of both candidates lacked any real depth into the complexity of our economy. When war came up, I saw some depth, but it is unclear when we bring our brave women and men home. Trump said he was against the war, but he didn’t stop it. Biden actually did bring the troops home from Afghanistan and Harris did not take any credit or blame for that. She also did not take the blame for anything the current administration has been doing the last 3.5 years. Trump talking about Healthcare was equally non-committal as he said he would keep our current system “unless something better comes along.” I don’t think real issues came out in this debate and both candidates seemed fine with that. The only ones that lost in this debate are the American 🇺🇸 people.

Noble Homestead Painting is hung with care up at Lake Noble. The Noble Homestead is still standing tall today in Junction City, Wisconsin not far from the Brewery Apartments Downtown. This painting was done by an artist for my aunts…they gave it to my Dad as a gift after he passed the CPA Exam. 🙂

No blowout going down Super Highway 95 crossing the Florida Border near the weigh station before the Yulee/Fernandina Beach Exit…I have to say Florida is an amazing state…within minutes a Florida Department of Transportation “Road Ranger” was on the scene protecting the softer of me and my dog putting pylons all around, jacking up my truck and using a battery powered impact wrench he took off the mangled tire. I could not find my tool to turn and let down the spare, so he took some nifty tools that looked like sticks and got my spare out and mounted it and shook hand and sent me on my way. It was only a “temporary use” spare, so I went to the nearest Walmart to get the warrant as I bought these tires in July of 2022 with full warranty and road hazard. They did not even have one tire…so, they sent me to River City/Northern Jacksonville where they had six. I bought two new abd used one of the others for the spare…they refused to put the spare back because I didn’t have the tool and they lacked the shills of FL DOT Road Warrior. Anyway, all safe and sound. I was going 70 miles per hour when the tire blew and thought for sure Huey and I would die…the truck bounced like crazy and I managed to slow down on the bare aluminum rim and make it to the side of the road avoiding getting smashed into by all the semi trucks and passenger vehicles all around me from every possible angle. I know God sent a Guardian Angel…there is absolutely no doubt in my mind. He gave me the feeling that it is not my time, yet…there is much more he wants me to do. Thank You, God for sparing the life of me and Huey.
