Political activity ‘pickin up’ at the state and national level. Always interesting how folks who prepare the ads can take a sound bite from a conversation and make a commercial … I ask myself did so ‘n so really say that … Usually did say, but taken out of context … And ALL do it … Not nitpicking any individual or party, just stating facts…

And a final reminder … Church services in one form or another tomorrow (Sunday)…
