During breakfast or lunch (I cannot remember which from two days ago), Paw had told of his interest in listening to politicians fighting over bills to be passed and signed during his college days in Quiapo, Philippines. He would sit through the events. The “liberals” are really the “Republicans”; while the Nationals represent the status quo.
In Luneta, Philippines, he actually was two feet away from the presence of Richard Nixon, who was still a Congressman at that time. In the 1950s and during a very early morning event, Mr. Nixon paid respect to a place. Instead of standing like a military with two heels together and toes apart (as demonstrated by Paw to form a V-formation with his feet), Mr. Nixon stood “at attention” with both feet planted straight forward.
So you see, folks. My Paw and his relatives have “politics” running in their blood. This could explain my happenstance with TPTB and pals. It’s a small world, indeed! Imagine that!
