Will You Survive?

Writing this blog [at 86 years young] will increase my ability to survive; I would hope to pass that same vitality on to readers of the Patch.

Yesterday, I watched the memorial ceremonies at the Pentagon and lower Manhattan, which brought back that infamous day of 9/11.  

I also researched into what was behind the original Cinco de Mayo. It shows a similarity to our USA position of today and no one seems to understand.  

A year ago, I was involved in a political campaign in which I tried to point out our financial position. An election was held, but no one had a solution. To date, our national debt stands at over $14.3 trillion. This year's Federal deficit will be at least $1.5 trillion. But nobody in Washington is proposing cuts anywhere near large enough to defuse this great debt crisis.

As a real estate broker for over fifty years, I watch as our value in homes has been reduced by about 15% in the last six months, but taxes on them will increase.  

As a farmer and food producer for my entire life, I now do the shopping for my home and watch portions being cut and prices raise almost daily.

I told Julie Patton, editor of Patch, I would be pleased to use the writing of a blog for the Patch as part of my means to recover from the onset of what they call Mantel Cell Lymphoma. It will increase my ability to survive and would hope to pass that same vitality on to readers of the Patch.  

To make this work, I need readers to cooperate by sending me topics to discuss.  So this will be a two-way process.  Thank you for your interest.  ~George D. "Boots" Weber GeoBoots@aol.com
