Well today was hot, so hot amd probably 100% humidity, it was so humid here, you could see a haze over the trees from all the moisture. Trust me, I realize that in certain parts of the south it is like that most of the time, but here, it is very odd.

So, we decided to take the kids to our favorite spot on the Sandy River (known to Lewis and Clark as the "Quicksand River). On our way down we were going to have to get air for one of the inner tubes. Takes 50 cents usually.

My husband walked into the gas station/mini-mart and asked for some quarters for the air compressor, and the girl behind the counter was taking a gas payment.

She leaned over to him, and said "It's free, because you are an American!", as a Hispanic man stood there.

My husband came out and told me that. I was speechless (that takes a big surprise to make my mouth silent!). I asked him what promted this, and he said "I really don't know, she just said it, and had glared at the guy in front of me".

Although this young woman did not know if this guy was illegal or not, it showed to me how truly fed up Americans are and how if our government does not do the right thing, they will be dealing with a lot of angry voters.

I have noticed lately people are sometimes just seething with frustration, this was a good example of that.
