St. Paul's Winter internet

A DOUBLE SHOT OF AMERICAN WITH THE SUNRISE AN EXTRA BONUS. I SAID SUNRISE RATHER THAN SUNSET. WHEN A PERSON REACHES FIFTY OR SO, SUNRISES ARE SO MUCH MORE POSITIVE. ONE DOES NOT NEED TOO MUCH PSYCHOLOGY TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT. BUT ABOUT THIS BIT OF AMERICAN, IT IS SPECIAL. IT IS MOST ORIGINAL. HOW MANY PAINTINGS HAVE I SEEN THAT ARE EVEN SIMILAR? NONE. THE WATCHFUL EYE OF THE WINGED EAGLE IS A SUBTLE MESSAGE ABOUT KEEPING OUR NATION SAFE, BEING WATCHFUL, VIGILANT. IS IT NOT AMAZING HOW ONE THOUGHT LEADS TO ANOTHER. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE LOVE OUR NATION, PEACE, AND ART. ROBERT L. HUFFSTUTTER

About Me

My photo
My dad's dad, my grandfather, was nine years old when President Lincoln died from an assassin's bullet. Most people think I am speaking of my GREAT GRANDFATHER. NO, I am referring to my dad's father, my paternal Grandfather, Robert Levi Huffstutter, born in 1856. What does this information have to do with my profile? It might help the reader understand that I have a sense of being much older than I am in that only one generation seperates me from President Lincoln. This causes me to respond differently to society and many current events. In many respects, this is to my benefit, in other respects it dates my mindset. Perhaps this is the reason I value the moral standards and idealogies of older Americans, the men who were the soldiers and sailors I saw when I was a small boy,the men and women who fought a war for freedom without any doubts posted by a media with a questionable lack of national unity and purpose.
