As I ready myself to wing westward this morning I sat at my computer to read the finest, that being The American Spectator. I have my Expedition saddled and packed but I couldn't leave before seeing the latest in the news. This morning I noted fine rain falling, thanks to an occluded front. And I promised my mama last night that as I come west towards San Saba, that I will lasso a big load of it to bring to her and my daddy. Dad turned 89 on Saturday and I'm bringing his favorite cookie from his childhood and rain. That's it, and that will be more than enough.

As I read the very first column I found myself rejoicing...at six a.m.! Rejoicing because of Batman and Rush, how great is that? I admit to being most nervous about this year's election. Along with reading another air base in Afghanistan was hit this morning, and we do not know where our son is, I am most worried about who our son will call Commander-in-Chief in the Fall. A mama's heart tends to run anxious when fickle forces are in play and having seen the hand of the Democrats while my husband honorably served, I know full well of the tendencies that run to callow and cowardly and that they cannot be depended on for fortitude and constancy. And we sorely need constancy at this time in our nation's history, for if we falter we fail, and as they say, failure is not an option.

So, I pray the proud independent American spirit, which I also inherited, will prevail and try to remember my scripture that faith is believing that which is unseen and hoping for what is to come. And I thank the kind readers for their accolades most recently. To be included with the likes of Diane Smith is high compliment, indeed. She adds a masterful touch to the English language for certain.

p>So, I am off to help out at the ranch that mama and daddy call home and to bring them greetings of love and hopefully, rain! br> -- Bev Gunn br> East Texas /p>

Think Star Trek: The Original Series. Who would you want as President: Kirk or Spock? Kirk, of course. And who at NSA, advising the President? Spock, of course.

Game over.
