My favorite President Barack Obama Moment

My favorite President Barack Obama moment was when he came to see the tornado wreckage of the towns of Mayflower and Vilonia Arkansas at the request of then Senator Mark Pryor.
This was the second time within three years that the town of Vilonia had been hit by a tornado. 
At the time of the visit I was working in a distribution warehouse as a volunteer for the American Red Cross. I decided to help the victims of the tornado because I felt that it was my civic duty to do so.
I still remember seeing the 3 Marine 1 helicopters that flew in from the Little Rock Air Force Base to transport him.  It was indeed an amazing sight. 
While President Obama was here, he toured the damaged subdivisions that were hit the hardest and then he stopped to give a speech to the people that first responded to the tornado.  He vowed that the government would send help to restore the area.
This was his first visit to Arkansas as president. I was amazed that he even showed up at all.
He didn't make an appearance in Arkansas while he was on the campaign trail. It was probably due to the fact that he knew that he could not win here. 
Since his visit to the ruined towns of Arkansas, they have been restored. 

Thanks Obama !

Goodbye My Love

 Everyone has that iconic person that introduces them to their definition of the word attractive. It was Mary Tyler Moore who gave me that awakening when I was 8 years old as I watched the re-runs of The Dick Van Dyke Show.
She was a sweetheart and she was absolutely gorgeous.
No matter what show she was in, you'd better believe that I was going to be watching it.
The last television appearance that I saw her in was when she appeared in an episode of Hot In Cleveland. She looked amazing even then.
I was so crushed when I heard that she finally died due to a diabetes ailment. Even though she is gone, she will live forever in my memories. Good Bye Madame. Thanks for the smiles and laughter that you provided the world for decades.
