Things that I really like (1 Viewer)

The odd thing about "All in the Family" is that the liberals could laugh at Archie and the conservatives could laugh with him. I'm sure the liberal types who made the show intended Archie to be a buffoon not realizing that half or more of Americans shared many of his opinions. Certainly relevant in these times. It was never my favorite show, though, because I realized the writers and even Carroll O'Conner was at some level mocking the blue-collar type mentality.

Seeing Mexican and US fast water rescue crews working together to save lives in central Texas.

We need more of this type of cooperation.

This is bittersweet, but seeing and hearing Blackhawk helicopters fly over our neighborhood in Texas.

We rarely see them Northwest of San Antonio but since Friday a group of them has flown over at the same time each night.

The first few nights I felt a sense of hope since they likely rescued survivors of the floods.

The last couple of nights I have hung my head knowing that they are now looking for the dead.
