It Starts Today.

I’ve voted in over a dozen presidential elections. Yes, I’m old. I’ve voted for both Republicans and Democrats and once for myself. I’ve voted for the winning candidate and the losing candidate. I’ve listened to the rhetoric of the candidates running and about how the other person is worthless. I voted for Carter instead of Reagan because the networks announced...

The Icy Post Election Review

Here’s my take on this year’s elections. Trump won because of several factors. One being Hillary had a tremendous amount of baggage to overcome. Some rightfully so and some also not.

If I want to exit...

Abolish Speed Limits on Freeways

I want Congress to repeal the speed limits on freeways. It would increase spending on gasoline (Price is way down), increase the need for good tires and other replacement parts, plus “fuel” the economy.
