Some times it good to spend time and refresh/review what we remember from our civic studies in schools. Specifically this time I focused on the United States Congress. What exactly are they suppose to be doing?; and are they doing it?. My big issue, is that the Democrats and the Republicans should conjointly author proposal bills for voting. As you can observe, the current state is that the Democrats and Republicans each independently author proposal bills. Both parties are acting like knuckle heads, not in the best interest of the USA. There are lots of links on the left if you want to know more about United States Congress and the political parties.


My stay at the Marina Dunes Rv resort north of Monterey CA has come to an end. Time sure went by fast. I had a great time there, anytime I hang out at/near the beach, then life is good.


This photo shows my beach walks at Marina Dunes. You can hike about 20 miles in the beach dunes.


I will be in Mountain View CA, for about a week. Then I will, around Feb 10th, go to Pismo Beach CA for some more beach time.
