Haha I'll be sure to look north for the smoke.

Just clean around a monster weeping willow where I've been throwing downed branches every now and again. It was a shorter trip than going all the back to the brush pile, so I cheated lol. Anyway, the brush pile is about 15' high at this point now lol.

There you go. Burning up the country. At least it isn't in protest of the election. It is in place of being where you don't want it. Have a great burn session. Call it your own little protest and have fun.

Oh, and Good Morning/afternoon (depends where you live) everyone. Hope this Sunday will be a benefit to one and all. Enjoy the games, the car race, your significant other, etc. We all need a serious break after last Tuesday's (insert your own word here)___________. Have fun.

Yea, I know I'm still celebrating.

Perhaps I should save this timber for the wall.

You might as well. Trump isn't building any walls, other than around himself. Call that wall, Trumps pipedream. Notice how he's backed off it since he got elected. Sounded good, but it was all for show and such.

As far as it goes no wall will keep people out. They tunnel for 100s of yards just to cross the fence. We really just need honest immigration reform something along the lines of what Canada has.

My Gawd. Logic. About freaking time. The wall is a total pipedream and can not be built. There is too much trade with Mexico for a wall to be erected. It sounded great as a sales pitch. Now, reality will make this impossible to build. There is 70 miles that the US Govt can't touch, on the US side. That means there is 70 miles of possible area to cross. It's call an Indian Reservation that is in both the US and Mexico, without borders. Hmmm.

Sometimes I feel like logic could be a lost art but to be honest noone bothers to tell everyone all of the details that would have to go into such an undertaking.

Speaking of logic, I actually had someone tell me the other day that having a photo ID to vote was racist and that Republicans only came up with the idea to stifle the minority vote... I'm pretty sure proving who you are is not unconstitutional but what do I know.

I'm interested to see what's going to happen. He's going to prove himself, but in what way ? Nobody can really guess with this guy. Protect our borders, make them more secure. That's the extent of the wall, not to be taken literally. It's still early, hope and pray for the best from this guy.
