Folks, I'm sorry to say, but I'm done here.

Everyone, whom I've interacted with, those I agree and those I disagree with, have a great life and keep up the good fight.
I'm sick and tired of having to be careful of what I post and wonder if....................... so bye.
I'll check out DU every now and then, but until things cool off a bit, I won't be posting anymore, at least for 3 months, for obvious reasons.
Take care all, I'm just going to keep on truckin down the road and enjoying the beauty of our country.

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!

Just received a call from the Peterbilt dealership that my truck is ready for pickup this afternoon.
Finally, I can get back on the road and make some money.
I won't be posting as much anymore, just early mornings and after I park for the nights.
Everyone, those I agree and disagree with, y'all have a great week and I'll see you on the flip side.
Peace out everyone.
Daniel.

The other day my grand daughter asked me,

Grandpa, what was it like to fight in the Vietnam war, the question floored me as I had no answer for her other than it was horrible.
Are there any other Vietnam vets here who experienced the same questions about our war time experiences?
I would love to hear their answers if not too painful.
Peace out
Daniel.

Found this gem of Prince live, Purple Rain.



I always liked the official version, but, IMHO, this live version out classes it
Enjoy.

I confess that I didn't know much about Taylor Swift's music other than the repukes hated her,

so, I decided to check her music out and this is what I found:



I am now a huge fan of Taylor Swift and her sticking it to the repukes and pissing them off is a bonus in my book.

This has to be, IMHO, one of the greatest guitarists and Live album recorded ever.

Pink Floyd Live.



One of the greatest things that Pink Floyd did was get rid of Russian loving Roger Waters and let David Gilmour take over as lead singer, unfortunately, the keyboardist, Richard Wright, died shortly after this album was recorded.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, which is something I've never been,

but, after hearing Benedict Donald's treasonous speech the other day, I really fear for my gay granddaughter's future.
How can any honest American support this lunatics vision for America's future?

I'm fast approaching my end of life, and I'm fully OK with that, but be as that may be, I will fight until the last breath I breathe to defend the principles of which this country was founded on and defeat Benedict Donald and his MAGAt followers and restore this great country to what it was founded on.
Please join me on this difficult journey.
Peace out
Daniel.
