2023: a Review
For the fourth year in row we have the worst year ever. Let's get into it. 2020 because of the worldwide pandemic was declared the worst year ever. I have documentation. 2021 however, got worse. Because of the insertion of lying as a legitimate tool of the elite. Because, well, that's just the way people … Continue reading 2023: a Review
Anger and the Road to Hell
is a chapter in my book Election 2016: The Great Divide, The Great Debate. I am now in the process of republishing it. Because it is especially relevant now, even more so than when I wrote it.

The "returning" celebration was held on the land they had lived on for decades. It is land … Continue reading Memorial Day Down By The River

Green was the WordPress writing prompt for April. I get it. So here is my response, or thoughts on "Green". "Just a … Continue reading Green
Magpie Convention
It's spring, March 27th, 2022. I'm on my daily walk down Park Centre Drive and see my favorite birds behaving strangely. Though not really. They do this from time-to-time - congregate. Sometimes in a tree, other times in a field. Even on a road. This behavior has been called "Magpie funerals". I wonder why … Continue reading Magpie Convention
