Yes – there was a time I had long hair –

Rather – long curly hair –

imagine Carrot Top!

And – yes – I did ride motorcycle –

the mid 70’s to early 80’s!

I played softball –

on league teams –

and in the industrial league –

basketball for a radio station –

I once bought a church –

and renovated it into two appartments.

I was married at 17 with a son.

I was in a car accident prior to that –

and spent 51 days in the hospital –

In a wheelchair for two months – then crutches.

My life has been rather colorful –

more so than normal.

But more than that –

I have always believed in PEACE – LOVE and HAPPINESS –

Not quite full fledged HIPPIE –

But – a moderate – Independant sort of person.

I believe in a strong military worldwide –

law and order and equality –

I have always encouraged my wife –

with Women’s Rights.

I am not a racist –

nor a white Christain Nationalist

I believe in God –

Family and Country –

the Flag and the Constitution.

I look at immigration –

the need to control that –

but I also know that with no immigration –

My ancestors back in the 1800’s –

I would not be here.

I look at the need to fill jobs-

that no one else wants to do-

And how we still are recovering from the effect of the Pandemic –

in the need to fill those jobs.

I see business’s that close one day a week becasue of the labor shortage.

I see the turmoil of the country –

in politicans who inject anger –

slander –

and voice upheavel as a course of action.

In this democracy in 2020 –

I was in disbelief-

as I watched the storming of the Capital –

The intrussion on a dmeocraric process –

And I want to see “PROOF” of what is being said!

I am a registered INDENPENDENT –

I sell my vote to no one.

In the past I have voted all three –

Republican – Libetarian and Democrat.

I am a American – Citizen –

and Loyal to my Country.

I believe in PEACE – LOVE and HAPPINESS –

and in my heart of old –

a somewhat HIPPIE!

I respect the flag – country –

and the democratic process of law and order.

I am a citizen of what I precieve –

as the greatest country on Earth.

This is me – this is who I am –

This is PAPA’S WORLD – my site: loivinglifedoingitmyway.blog

Thank you for reading and as always HGD!
