Staying Alive!

A number of people have asked me why I like and share just about everything Wondherful (Heather Palacios, http://www.wondherful.com) posts on social media. Here is my why. . . Early in my life I was involved in drugs, including alcohol. No doubt, permanent damaged occurred physical and emotional. I saw a lot of death, andContinue reading “Staying Alive!”

VAMSA2025

I was sitting in my office this morning reading through news highlights, thinking about a lot of the stuff going on in our country right now, and it occurred to me that the solution to a lot, if not most, of this chaos is pretty simple. So, I offer to you my solution which isContinue reading “VAMSA2025”

Zone Bleue

Zone Bleue (French for Blue Zone) was a special traffic zone in the inner city of Paris in the decades after World War II. It was restricted to cars and delivery vehicles that required very little space on the street. Think Fiat 500. I had a very tall friend, 6’5 as I recall, who drove one of those for years.Continue reading “Zone Bleue”

Choices

In 2024, for most of us, maybe all of us, there will be a lot of choices to make. I sincerely hope that you and I make the right choices, but I doubt we will, at least every time. Making a choice is kind of like driving up to a fork in the road. YouContinue reading “Choices”

Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma’am

Another year has come and is almost gone, society seems to be deteriorating at a pace not before seen in history, politics is still politics as usual, more eyes than ever before are blinded to truth, and the majority of people are passing the time as if nothing is really wrong. How do I knowContinue reading “Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma’am”

Sexual Identity

A few days ago, someone ask me about the sex and gender debate. I’m not sure that person liked my answer. I’m going to share it here so there is no question where I stand on the matter. My answer, quite simply, is that there is no difference. Gender fluidity, as it described today, isContinue reading “Sexual Identity”

It’s Just A Twig

Over the course of several days, I worked in my yard to get rid of a hedge row. With a front loader on a tractor, chain saw, pick ax, shovels, and a hatchet, I managed to delete the unmanageable bushes from the landscape. After hours of cutting and pulling, what is left is an apocalypticContinue reading “It’s Just A Twig”

I’m an Extremist

I just found out that I’m an extremist, a real threat to the American way of life. Just a few years ago I discovered that I’m also a deplorable because of what I believe. Apparently, a nuclear family, that is, one with a married mother and father that has children being reared in their home,Continue reading “I’m an Extremist”

It’s a Trick

There is something going on around us that is not right. You know it and I know it. But somehow, we can’t exactly identify what it is. If you’ve ever seen the movie, Matrix, you know what I’m talking about. And, no, I don’t believe we’re living in some dream world, although if you watchContinue reading “It’s a Trick”

Egg Shells

Have you ever hardboiled some eggs? Of course, you have. You choose the right saucepan to hold the number of eggs you are going to boil, maybe pour some salt in the pan, add just the right amount of water, set it on the stove, turn on the heat, and carefully lower those raw eggsContinue reading “Egg Shells”
