Lest we forget

WE THE PEOPLE

OF THE UNITED STATES

IN ORDER TO FORM

A MORE PERFECT UNION

ESTABLISH THIS CONSTITUTION

FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

On Friday I will post the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. The American Constituion is a sacred document, ranking only second to the Bible. It is not taught in the schools as it should be, and generly just glossed over in passing in general college academics. Most people can only name the first three amendments, if at all. Every school and college should DEMAND that all students be able to recite the the main parts of the amendments.

I have started stocking up early this year. Usually I wait untill August and September. This year I find that each and every time I go to the store the prices are higher and the section is less than what I want to "put back." My favorite grocery store is about to close and my favorite clothing store shut its doors a few months ago. Soon the mini-mall I frequent will look like a ghost-mall. Who would have imagined just a few years ago that America's business's and malls would become the essence of ghost towns of another era? There are a lot of empty stores and houses in down town Kentucky.

Here is an item I would love to acquire at a reasonable price: An old fashioned Singer treadle sewing machine. They are nearly indestructible. My Mother made a lot of cloths on an old Singer. Now, antique dealers are busy snatching them up and reselling them at outrageous prices. They are not rare, but hard to find at a decent price. One of these days I will luck out.

Usually the spell checker will find my spelling errors. Occasionally it misses, as in fife and fief.
