Beautiful day for camping. 
Tradition to make streak for the wife’s birthday. Served on our fine china. 
Zap from alby looks like it went thru.
Beautiful sunset tonight 
If communists can claim that the Soviet Union wasn’t real communism, then I think it’s fair to say that the USA isn’t real capitalism.
The closest thing to Communism produced 100 million deaths.
The closest thing to capitalism produced the richest country in the history of the world.
Who runs the hardware? There are always methods of control.
I can only imagine the reaction at the Harris campaign when they saw this.
