I guess I have lived too long.  I certainly never thought that I would be living during a time when it was a sure-fire fact that one of the cases the Supreme Court will have to decide on in the very near future will be the question of which bathroom a person can or cannot use.  It just boggles my mind.

How did all this start?  It was the little things.  Do y’all remember when Coach Robbins came to Pecos and one of the first things he complained about was you women wearing jeans to school.  Those tight jeans were distracting the football team.  Besides that, they were boys’ style jeans.  Those jeans could have been the fore-runner of all our problems in our modern society.  One of the greatest athletes of our time decided he really didnt feel manly so he switched.  Let his hair grow out, got some boobs and took to the streets as a woman.  Saw today that he was thinking about switching back.  What happened, panty girdle cause a rash on your scrotum?  Living as a woman not all it was cracked up to be?  Difficulty in getting a date?  Does anyone remember anyone in the whole world claiming to be transgender ?   I never heard of the term during my formative years.  Now, a transgender person is on every news show on TV and its not just the same one.  There must be many more of them that I would have guessed.  The state of North Carolina decided to take the bull by the horn, so to speak, and passed a law stating that you had to use the bathroom based on your natural gender.  If you were born a man and even though you felt like a woman, you had to use the men’s room.  The feds stepped in and have stated that to make a person do this was discriminatory and they must be allowed to use the potty that makes them feel good about them selves and how they are being treated.  Have we solved so many of our problems that this has become our nation’s biggest problem?  I think not.  I would think that trying a case before the Supreme Court would be a great career feat for any attorney.  How would you like to be the attorney who was forever known as the lawyer involved in “CRAPPER VS USA”.  Hang your head in shame.

Life is mostly confusing so it does not need many of the things that seem to get in the way and cause stress to all of us.  We need things to be orderly.  Hill country peaches are supposed to come out in June and July.  Now they have said that they will start hitting the road side stands in the next week or so.  I am not ready for that.  I want some fresh peaches but I am not ready to go up there to get them.  I guess an adjustment in my travel calendar is in order.

I hope all of us can survive the coming election season.  Its going to be a long haul.
