We have Halloween first, then fall color, sometimes coinciding with Thanksgiving, but… Continue reading The Holidays in October and Angry Stalker Dude

I’ve lived almost seven decades in the U.S.A.  Things were great until about ten years ago. What the eff is happening to our country? I just read that two shooters shot people at the Super Bowl rally in Kansas City.   The Chiefs won fair and square, that being said by a non-football person, and I… Continue reading What Is Wrong with People?
