THE BUCK STOPS HERE II

WRITTEN BY REX

"THE BUCK STOPS HERE" IS THE SIGN THAT SAT ON PRESIDENT TRUMAN'S DESK. IT'S ABOUT THE FIRST THING YOU SEE ON ENTERING THE TRUMAN PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY. THE LIBRARY HAS BEEN RECENTLY RENOVATED AND THE DISPLAYS ARE ALL QUITE MODERN AND UP TO DATE. THERE IS A LOT OF MOVIE TAPE OF THIS PRESIDENT SO VISUALS ARE VERY GOOD. HE SPENT MANY YEARS IN RETIREMENT, AND HAD HIS WORKING OFFICE HERE AT THE LIBRARY. HE PICKED HIS BURIAL SPOT VERY CLOSE TO THIS OFFICE AND TEASED HIS WIFE IT WAS SO THAT HE COULD SNEAK INTO THE OFFICE AND STILL GET HIS READING AND WORK DONE.

ALTHOUGH HE LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE WITH ONLY A 30% APPROVAL RATING, HIS LEGACY IS RICH IN HISTORY AND VERY TOUGH DECISION MAKING. "GIVE 'EM HELL HARRY" AND "IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN" ROUND OUT OUR HISTORY LESSONS FOR TODAY.

AS PREDICTED THE COLD RAIN MOVED IN TODAY, SO WE'VE RETIRED TO THE CAMPER WITH THE HEATER RUNNING FOR AN AFTERNOON NAP, AN OLD JOHN WAYNE MOVIE POPPED INTO THE DVD PLAYER, AND LEFT OVER HOMEMADE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP.
