On my hike today I was thinking that April 29, 2025 will be my 75th birthday and YOU KNOW I wanna raise hell if I live to that day...anyway, I also thought about my 25th birthday party in the backyard of 1519 8th Street on Tuesday night, April 29, 1975. Every apartment put furniture out so we had sofas, easy chairs, love seat, the f-ing works. Ms. Poe came over and she was all spiffed up. She hugged me so good.  I mean we ROCKED and it was the night Saigon fell and we celebrated because it was over. IT WAS OVER! April 29, 2025...I gotta feelin' we gotta lot of work to do. I'm gonna continue and tune this message up into a post but I'm tellin' ya. YOU ARE SPEAKING TO MY SOUL!

  "America has given us so much, but now it is she who needs us. Will you answer her call? I believe in you, and I believe that together we can restore the faith of our people in their government and that we will rebuild this blessed land. And then, when our work is done, we can say that we've fought the good fight, we've finished the race, we have kept the faith. And to our children and our children's children, we can say we did all that could be done in this moment that was given us here on Earth. Thank you, and God bless you." ~ Ronald Reagan : Address Before a Joint Session of the Alabama State Legislature in Montgomery
