The items found on this blog were written during the past few years and strictly reflect my own opinions. Because these articles deal with difficult issues they are bound to be controversial. They reflect my personal analysis based on the limited information that I have. I am certainly no expert and fully respect different opinions. Difficult issues would not be difficult if there were clear-cut answers. Although you will see in reading some of my material, I don't like being pigeonholed with a label, I will admit to being politically independent with a tendency to be more conservative fiscally and slightly more liberal with regard to social issues. Having lived through the 1940's, I have a great appreciation for the sacrifices made by our armed forces and, in fact, all Americans during World War II. The greatness of this country shone bright as we rehabilitated and rebuilt our enemies after winning that war. I am very patriotic and proud of our country. While we are far from perfect, we're not as far from that ideal as most other countries in the world.

The North Carolina Bonus

Being half way between the Northeast and Florida, North Carolina provides a great bonus in terms of climate.  While winters and summers in Cary are both somewhat warmer than in Glastonbury, 17 degrees on average in winter and 7 degrees on average in summer, the real bonus comes in spring and fall.  In each of those seasons, NC treats us to an additional month of significantly milder weather as evidenced by the 7-day forecasts below. So rather than shoveling snow today, I’ll be playing golf.  For me, that’s a real bonus.
