A Modest Proposal

Recently there have been some proposals about some things of interest to me. The good Gov proposed just yesterday to not buy or use fireworks. The state is on fire, fire crews are stretched to the limits, my brother and sister in law in Napa were near enough a fire to see the helicopters and Borade bombers fly by dropping their loads. Not a bad idea to stop setting fires when Nature is doing a pretty good job right now.

Many proposals have come out on the Oil/Gas price problem. Here is mine. On the 4th of July and those days near it, do not drive nor purchase gasoline or diesel. Make Independence Day mean something--be independent. How many things can you do where you are without having to drive somewhere? Watch the people around you. Walk downtown or around the block. How about just getting to know your family and neighbors? "Hello, my name is John Q and I think I live across the street."

That would be a true Independence Day.
