Farewell Downton Abbey
Tonight is the night in the United States where we say farewell to Downton Abbey. It will be a emotional night for many fans around the country. The notion that a drama about a British aristocratic family from the early 20th century would be wildly popular sounds crazy but here we are. Millions of fans around the world have embraced the Crawley family and their downstairs staff as one of their own. I am an Anglophile so this show has a instant soft spot in my heart.
My favorite characters are Robert, Earl of Grantham and Mr. Carson, his butler. They are two men who are the heart and soul of the show. Both of them are responsible for the world’s in which they command.
I will miss Mrs. Patmore, Daisy, Anna and John Bates along with Edith and Violet. So many of these people have inspired and infuriated at the same time.
Downton Abbey, thank you for providing people around the world some quality family drama that we will treasure forever.
Come 9:00 PM, I will be watching on my local public TV station WTCI in Chattanooga.

I got to see Mrs. Reagan when I was in High School while at a conference in Atlanta. That was a big thrill for me to see her as a teenager. The former FLOTUS was a interesting person who made waves herself as first lady. No matter your political position this is a sad day.
Now Back To Politics
Politics fast over. I got stuff to say and I am going to say it.
Six Word Story
I’m thankful for your friendship bloggers.
Wires, Wireless
Wires carry important things
Power, data, voices, the web
They send messages and email
Secrets, scandal and mystery you find upon them.
Good and bad news too.
Wires are a very interesting thing.
The future moves ahead and there are less wires
People are cutting the cord
You can get the secrets, scandal and other stuff now.
Text messages, tweets, video, photos and yes even voices.
Electrical pulses, high voltage, above your head, below your feet.
You can’t cool things down or head things up
Wires are still necessary in the day we live
Even though wireless is creeping ahead.
Poles with wires are still around.
