OBSERVATIONS ON AMERICA

Just back from a great week in Philadelphia. A nice town and I never realised it was so historical. We learned all about Independence, and how it was all done and dusted right there. We also had to go run up the 'Rocky steps' as depicted in the films.

It was a nice relaxing week, reading books and good company. Oh yes and we went to see THE BOSS, but that probably requires another post altogether.

We did spend some time in an amusement centre, Pam beat me a pool. That probably requires counselling on my part!!!! I don't like getting beat.

But, when we wandered through, I was taken back with just how many games were based around guns. All kinds of games, played by all different age groups of people. I found it quite disturbing.

There was even a father and daughter playing a killing game together......the things you can do.....

I wonder what that says about a gun society. In the week we were there, there were a number of random shootings.......................................

Makes you think.

But people, friendly, hospitable and genuinely couldn't do enough for you. And Philadelphia, a great city to visit.
