"This bedrock American principle of equality is central to the political and legal convictions of Republicans, Democrats, liberals, and conservatives alike. The dream that became America began with the revolutionary concept expressed in the Declaration of Independence in words that are among the most noble and elegant ever written: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.'"

Ted Olson. Newsweek

Fins to the Right...

On some obscure day in October we ventured south, San Diego way, for the Jimmy Buffett concert. I'd never seen Buffett which is not surprising since I'm not a Buffett fan but I have a memory of turning down Dead tickets in the 80's because I wasn't a fan. Little did I know I was passing up a once in a lifetime opportunity. I figured I'd better check out the parrot heads before they went the way of the dead heads.

We started with margaritas. What else would they serve in Margaritaville?

We sat up top on the lawn, best place for parrot head watching I'm sure. A few fans didn't make it till the start of the concert but no one seemed to mind. All fans were very kind to just step over them.

I'll call this our first after picture.

Just kidding. Janet's just singing and I caught her at an off moment. (She doesn't read my blog or I might be getting a nasty email...)

This is our real after picture... Can you make out the stage in the background? Yes, it's funny - you may laugh.
