Well, I feel I should explain about the name of this project.  In a nutshell, you will find nuts...  OK, I always wanted to say that, and now it is off my chest (geesh, another trite-ism).  

Essentially, as I age, I find the neat "tree" of knowledge and memories I use to have (like a windows application) has developed roadblocks, then detours, occasionally dead ends.  As much as I would like a chronological rendition, it just ain't gonna happen.  Yes, I will try.  But as things come to the surface, I find I better grab them while I can.  Think "disjointed" and you will be on board...

So, with that as a backdrop, let's go back to the beginning...

Something I just have to say here:  I am getting pretty fed up with the way Americans are treating their President.  Where the hell is our loyalty?  Our unity?  Our respect? Our dignity?  My wallet?

Seriously, get behind President Obama or at least shut the hell up.  Matters not whether you voted for him or against him, or not at all.  He was elected our President! Time enough to spew the negatives during election year.  Meanwhile, give him some breathing room to work.  Give him the same "benefit of the doubt" that you would want if you were in his shoes...
