My heart was heavy when I heard the news but then I remembered who Cancer is choosing to mess with and my bet is on John. (L)

McCain has been one of the worst warhawks in Congress the last 25 years, pushing hard for the Iraq War, pushing hard for the continuing bombing of Syria and destabilization of that country, and for almost all other military actions. I don't wish him ill, but he sure doesnt' have my sympathy.

The Maverick passed off into tonight's gorgeous sunset, in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The place I was married and I too, when the time comes, wish to be fortunate enough to cease living, surrounded by family and friends.
There is a calm energy on the Arizona winds tonight, as every wind chime for miles announce his being whole again, no longer in pain on this realm.
John McCain's life was always about serving our country in any way possible and for that dedication, I am forever grateful. Very few men have lived the breadth of life the Maverick did.
So I raise my glass to the setting sun and wish him the Happiest of Trails~
