Being Thankful

For our readers, our contributors, and Durango.

Thank a Veteran.

That is all.

Bless them all.

Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll

We are thankful for all the good people out there who work every day to make a difference in the life of others. Those "rabble rousers" who spend their own time and money to ensure the safety of their homes, families and neighborhoods, those letter writers, blog writers, city council talkers, ethics complaint filers, eminent domain fighters, gas drilling watchers, water watchers, tax dollar watchers, politician watchers...you get the picture.  The average citizen that tries to hold our "leaders" accountable for their actions (or inaction).  They do so for no money, no reward, no fame, the only goal is to protect THE PEOPLE and their rights.  Seems like they are doing the politicians job for them...without the ridiculous pay and perks.  You should thank one today.

We applaud you all.

And for all you turkeys out there, well, you know what happens to turkeys.

Happy Turkey Day -

We salute you!

To all our Veterans, thank YOU for our freedom!

YOU make the difference.

Bless you all.

Thanksgiving...

We are thankful for our friends on Carter Avenue! Cheers to their victory and spirit!

We are also thankful for those that play a part in trying to save our cities and protect our residents. It takes a village.

And last but certainly not least, we are thankful for Durango.

As soon as I turned off Beach Street on to Carter Avenue I saw flags, lots of American flags, in front of every home on Carter Avenue, then more flags when I turned left on Sanborn Street, flags all the way to Mother Nature on Scott Avenue, a monument that continues to weep over the damage done to the Tandy Hills by Chesapeake Energy.

Was this the people of Carter Avenue celebrating that the American Way had worked? That truth, justice and doing the right thing had prevailed. That they had used the power of their freedom of speech to let other Americans know about the threat being directed at Carter Avenue?

Following the American flags down Carter Avenue leads you to Mother Nature. That has to mean something...

And from his later posting about David and Goliath -

Using the greatest power an American has, the use of their free speech, the people of Carter Avenue fought back against Chesapeake Energy and the corrupted elected officials of the city they live in.

And won.

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!
