Blue Sky Laws

I am not sure how I can get through this class.  I've had a negative attitude about it since the very first day and I have six more weeks to go.  Nothing but Blue Sky Laws for a full six weeks.  Lame.  This has nothing to do with Willie Nelson, I would be more interested if it did.  To learn more about Blue Sky Laws, click here. 

I think that the only thing that is keeping me from potentially drowning myself in Mallory's kiddie pool from boredom is the upcoming 4th of July holiday.  Ahhhhh July 4th.  I met my husband on July 4th many moons ago. I am not sure if he was blinded by the fireworks, or my overwhelming, jaw-dropping beauty.

Oh the Fourth of July.  A day that is all about watermelon, fireworks, apple pie, hot-dogs, and spending time at the lake getting as sunburned as possible with family family friends.  Or maybe not.
You see, waaaay way back when, shortly after my father was born in 1776 (JK, Johnny O)...
Let's start over.  July 2nd 1776 the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence (WAHOO!) and two days later on July 4th, its delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence.  As we all know Thomas Jefferson penned this little diddy that has been amended, ratified, examined, exploited, and interpreted or mis-interpreted many, many, many, many, MANY times...with many more to come, I am sure.

America! Heck yeah!  I am not sure that America is exactly the way Thomas Jefferson envisioned it when he penned The Constitution. I'm actually pretty sure it's not considering he basically penned the number for white males, hence all the amendments.  Thomas Jefferson has probably rolled over in his grave several times, actually. This country has changed a lot since then.  Some great changes and some not so great changes.  Lots of progression.  Lots of regression. Good presidents, bad presidents, dead presidents, infamous presidents, presidents that no one really cares to remember.  Andrew Jackson is my favorite president ever, but that's a different post for a different day.

America! Heck yeah! America! My point in this whole blog is to remind you and me, that while we are out having a  blasty-blast on this Fourth of July Wednesday, let's all take just a moment to remember how our young little country came to be and let's all contemplate how to make it just a little bit better.  Then when we quickly come to disagreements all you right-wingers put on a red shirt, and  all you left-wingers put on a blue shirt and let's all have a paint ball war.  Because really, while no one will be fatally hurt sometimes it feels good to ding the crap out of your opposition with a neon orange colored paint ball traveling 50 mph.  That's got to leave a mark.
