THE STUFF I READ
Linden receives a great deal of reading material on his computer and also subscribes to a daily paper. Two of the emails he has received recently virtually promised that Joe Biden will be replaced by Hillary Clinton as the democrat VP nominee. It seems that Joe is gonna develop a “health problem”. This is probably more desirable than Obama admitting that he made a mistake in one of his major decision making efforts.
In a completely different but no less interesting area, Linden read in the Indianapolis Star an AP column authored by Ron Fournier and Trevor Tompson that was mostly concerned with white racial bias. In it, mention was made that as many as one-third of white democrats harbor negative views toward blacks. Near the end of the article, it mentioned that black support for Obama was nearly unanimous. How can one-third be racially biased but nearly unanimous is not? Will a competent and unbiased writer ever address this question?

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Thursday: Met Jack and Paul at the restaurant for our usual Thursday breakfast: Bill and Chuck had taken their wives on a fun trip. I was involved in a few phone calls, otherwise an unproductive day.
Friday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at my church had pork chops eggs and biscuits. As always, it was enjoyable. Jack Burlison, Jim Peva and I went to a State Police retirees luncheon at the Post on the East side of Indianapolis: Saw a lot of people I rarely see and even more that I do not know. Had a good lunch there. After returning home, had some maintenance work on the car performed.
Saturday: Men’s Prayer Breakfast at Kingsway church: Another good breakfast and enjoyable time. Attended a writers group meeting. In the afternoon, I went to the Plainfield library for a performance by the Central Indiana Folk Music and Mountain Dulcimer Society. There were 19 musicians playing a variety of instruments. Loved it! When Brian was in high school I took him to several of the Society meetings in the hope I could change his interest in rock music to the more traditional music that I love. I failed in that effort. In the early evening, I attended a fund raising affair for our Lt. Governor, Becky Skillman. She gave a great speech and the food was absolutely super. Wish I could cook like that. Four events in one day were about two too many: I went home tired.
Sunday: Morning church services and Sunday school. At home, read the paper, listened to music, watched some TV and took a short nap. Later, went to evening church services.
