Trojans are attacking our computer on every front. I am sneaking through their front lines to scratch out this BLOG. They could get me at any time. If I could find the wooden horse housing them I would burn it or haul it to the county dump.
Received a proclamation this morning from the Mayor of Fort Smith, Arkansas. He is really a nice man and a great PR man for the city. Mayor Baker was seriously ill when we had our 60th High School reunion in Fort Smith in September. He was scheduled to be present at our banquet and present the proclamation making that day in September OUR DAY!
Today I have that proclamation on this virus-infected machine. My question is about the worth of a proclamation dated for September that is received in November? To go farther, what is a proclamation really worth on any day? I remember years ago when we were in Taft there was a proclamation naming it Dale and Ann Pogue day. There were no parades. I received no trip to the White House to visit whoever was living there then. No one even came to mow our lawn! What good is a proclamation? I think they are to make us feel good....and they do. They are a way to say "Thank You" and you are appreciated. I am grateful to Mayor Baker for honoring our 60th get-to-gather in Fort Smith in September. A good word is never too late to be proclaimed.
