We have a year before us, a year fraught with whatever may be. Our President did his State of the Union speech, and the Loyal Opposition said that what he said is really not so. Governor Rick Scott decided that state spending should be cut, so he immediately put the state’s two aircraft up for sale, and his critics say that this is false economy, because he will be using his own planes and charging their use off on his personal income tax.
But these problems are minor when it comes to deciding what the subjects for my columns for the rest of the year will be.
I know that I will recognize the Navy and the Marine Corps birthdays, and I truly hope that my readers have forgotten what I have written before. I may sneak the old ones in. That takes care of two of fifty columns. I have promised to take up the bagpipes, and in my “I love a Parade” I told about chatting with some pipers and being encouraged. And today the proprietor of The Wooden Nickel in Chattahoochee admitted that he has the same desire, so we may be on the way to beginning a pipes band. We will probably rehearse in the back room of his emporium. He has excellent coffee and ice cream. At the very least I will have something for a column, if it is nothing but “well, I tried”.
