What a great day to be home! I put away a little more stuff and then went for a walk. It was a bit cooler than I thought but the alternating of sun and shadow and breeze was very pleasant. A few birds, a chipmunk, a pair of mallards (the male all shiny and irridescent), but not much else out and around. Lots of dry leaves chasing around in the fields. A few patches of snow! Lots of wind-broken trees. Some waterbugs. A couple of cheeps from the braver peepers. That unmistakable wet ground, decaying leaves sort of smell and that fresh fresh sunshiny breeze smell. A creeper pretending he was a woodpecker and making a lot of noise. Suddenly, a really big bird that sure looked like an eagle, but that was probably a big hawk (all I could really see was the size and the light-colored head). And a trio of crows yacking it up.

Americans have more freedom and broader rights than citizens of almost any other nation in the world, including the capacity to criticize their government and their elected officials. But we do not have the right to resort to violenceor the threat of violencewhen we don’t get our way. Our founders constructed a system of government so that reason could prevail over fear. Oklahoma City proved once again that without the law there is no freedom.
