When the U.S. Becomes More Like Canada

"Canada is a model of what could happen in America if the so-called hate crimes legislation becomes the law of the land, and the Democrats will doubtless make this a priority if they win the presidency. Barak Obama has said that he will use the “bully pulpit” to promote homosexual rights and will make this one of his highest priorities."

Our House...

... is a very, very, very fine house. Julie and I like the way our house looks, especially when fall comes and the leaves turn color. We like living on the edge of farm country, yet close enough to where you need to go for stuff. The small town lifestyle is a good thing too. Crime is non-existent here. I've lived in a few cities in my younger years, but frankly, I don't fell like I'm missing out on anything important. I will show readers a winter shot or two that might shock dwellers of warmer climes, but if being cold is the only natural disaster to worry about, I can take it. This area is free from earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes (almost never), brush fires and even floods on this high ground.

Todd in Scotland (1980)

These pictures were taken with an Instamatic camera in the summer of 1980. I had the opportunity to travel for an overseas study program at Michigan State University. The class I took was "mass media" and it was at the University of London for about 3 weeks or so. After that, I hitch hiked with my backpack through Whales, through the Lake District of Northern England, and then up into Scotland. Of course, Scotland was the best. The top picture is a coastal town on the Irish Sea. The middle picture is the Heavyweight Championship of the Highland Games. The bottom picture is a twenty-two year-old Todd partying with some locals.
