“Patriotism is supporting your country all of the time and your government when it deserves it.” - Mark Twain

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered… I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies… The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." — Thomas Jefferson

The Colorado Avalanche loaded up at this year’s trade deadline for a deep cup run. Could this be their year again? If the team stays healthy, they now look like a top four team in the NHL. A first round against their former teammate Mikko Rantanen would make for one heck of a storyline. https://denvergazette.com/sports/colorado-avalanche/avalanche-macfarland-stanley-cup-rantanen/article_452ad9fc-fbae-11ef-ab1e-db6aaa66a358.html

I watched Transformers: One on a recent flight and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Good writing & characterization. I’m not sure if the development of the early lives of Megatron & Optimus is considered cannon, but it did a good job of explaining what caused the rift between the two & where the decepticons come from & what there agenda is. Solid flick! The most I have enjoyed from #transformers franchise since the first live action film & of course #BeastWars. #movies
