We are two hundred and fifty million Americans, there are a couple of hundred of them . The one real hope that the Taliban have is that America will not have the resolve to see this through, and they hope that regular periodic terrorist acts on US soil combined with their propaganda, will erode the American spirit. That will not happen. If anything, Americans will become more resolute. In the forty years that I have been in America, I have never seen the American public so unified, so angry and so determined to find the rat holes and exterminate the rats.
Autumn is here . . .
Each year I take photographs of the front corner of the lawn at Prospect Hill to show you how the Fall colors are proceeding, and here are the first of those photographs. I'll take a new one every 4 or 5 days and post it alongside the others so that you can see the changes as they occur. The tree just left of center is a Sugar Maple which will turn a gorgeous orange color. The two trees to the right of it are oaks. The large tree hanging in from the left is a wild cherry.
