  I live in a second floor apartment.  I been here about three months.  Last night the heat was running most of the night.  It is 29F in Fort Worth right now (at 9 AM) and we have some ice on the sidewalk.
  I am going to walk over to Save-a-Lot and pick up some food here in about 45 minutes.  It is going to be cold and most of all carry the stuff back.
  I guess I can get ice cream and not worry about it melting.

  I been doing ShowMeBlog a long time.  I been using TypePad since 2003 but before doing it on TypePad I hosted it on LiveJournal and if you want to read about what I was doing during those years:  Jim Howard

  I been blogging since June of 1982! 
  Some of you have been reading my blogs for years.  From 1982 to 2000 I blogged from the Kansas City (MO) area.  I moved to Orlando (FL) in 2000 and many of you read my blog from there.  Then I moved to the Dallas (TX) area and was there from 2001 to 2004.  Then in 2004 I moved to Miami (FL) and was there until November of 2009. 
  Then I moved to Fort Worth (TX).
  When did you start reading my blog?

  The sun is out and it is 45 degrees in Fort Worth Texas.

"A woman who says she is upset about the direction the country has taken has upset veterans and service members with her protest. She's flying the American flag upside down outside her Fort Worth business…"  Fox News Houston

 This woman is a right wing protester.  Not as many would think some left wing liberal.  She thinks the United States is going to Communism because of President Obama.  She is no fan of former President Bush.  She does not think he was a real Republican.
  The TV report says that people are upset with her because the flag is flying upside down.
  I wonder where those people were when the current governor of Texas was saying, at a tea bag protest, that he might be willing to pull down all American flags in Texas and toss them out and for Texas to with draw from the United States of America.

  If I were the Fort Worth police I would set up some unmarked units to watch this woman's business.  I bet there will be people doing damage and stuff like that…
  The vet that speaks on the video does not seem to understand that he was fighting for freedom in this nation and for the right of people to protest.  This woman is protesting by flying the flag upset down.  She could also protest by burning the flag and if she did that is one reason the vet was in the service to protect and defend our system of government and our way of life.
