What I think

 I have been worried about not hearing from a friend today I prayed she would call. She did. Amen

 Summer is rapidly leaving and I don't think I did much with it. I did not even make a list of things I wanted to do. I didn't finish last years list either so I guess I could have used that one. I was thinking this am on my walk that life is like summer. You get to the end of summer and wonder where it went and went you get older you wonder what you did with your life. Did you do anything from your list. Like summer it is lovely and beautiful but then....

 All these figures are from the internet and may or may not be accurate The violent crime rate in the US is 359.1 per 100000 people DC  745 per 100000 people 429.3 in New Yore and 741 in Portland Do I think the Feds should clean up states messes? No But if you won't and your violent crime rate is more than the national average somebody has got to do it. And government officials ordering people to defy the feds should be removed from office.

 WE found a couple of real Barbie dolls at Dollar Tree. The were just kind of randomly around the store so we asked how much they were. These are just basic dolls. $7. We did not purchase. Exact same dolls at Walmart $5.98.  Dollar Tree has lost touch with its customer base. Seriously, $1.75 for the one time use toys the sell, ridiculous.
