Yesterday marked the 55th year since the assassination on president John F. Kennedy.
I just wanted to observe it and also to take a look at where we are 10 Presidents later.

I think he was a good man. He certainly was not without faults but I shared his vision for America.
Whatever his faults, they weren’t enough to be gunned down in the street next to your wife.

Have a Good Friday and I wish you all the best.

This X marks the kill spot. I took this pic myself when I was on Elm Street in Dallas a few Octobers ago. It is about midway between the Book Depository (now a museum) and 'the grassy knoll.' I remember the day well, I was 10 and in reading group when Principal Grover came by every classroom to tell us that the President had been shot. He returned a while later, with tears in his eyes (and he was a tough man) to inform each class that JFK was dead. Damned if our 5th grade teacher didn't just continue with our reading group.




If I heard the same announcement about Trump, I'd buy fireworks and celebrate even if it got me a summons from Metro Police in Miami.
