Money isn’t real, and I know this because if it were real, they wouldn’t let us have it. Wealth on the other hand is real, and it is reserved for the privileged. Government printing of money is another way I know it’s not real. It’s an unreported tax on those with money, and it is…
Looking backward…
I was born eleven years after the end of World War Two. Growing up around my grandparents afforded me many stories about their lives and the things that they had seen and things that they had been told. Some stories were memorizing and some were boring, and some were terrifying to the point of staying…
Never Look Back.
In the spring of 2024 a drunk driver crashed into my car and my car did not survive the impact. I got out of my Jeep, walked around to where the damage was inflicted and never drove it another mile. I thought a lot of that car and thought I would miss it dearly. It…
Hidden Platform.
The dumbest people in America are those who are still proud Republicans. They believe we have a two party system. I don’t exactly believe that we have a uniparty either. I suppose it’s the best way to describe what we have, but it’s more than that. Each party has its platform, but neither party resembles…
Once we arrive at Finding Out.
I know someone who knows someone who has a second cousin that looks completely normal in every way, but has a secret life. They engage in something called LARPing. They call it LARPing, I call it pretending, and it’s a community of folks having the time of their lives. You can be anything from a…
Bad Paint.

That’s when I returned home from an afternoon at the movies and saw the completed paint job on the exterior of our home. What we…
Someday.
Someday I'll get my life in order. Someday I'll take that trip. And I'll live by the ocean. Someday I'll get a grip. Someday I'm gonna leave this place. And won't remember why. Someday I'll have fond memories That will surely make me cry Someday I won't be busy Someday I will slow down. Someday…
It’s a superpower really….
What's a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had? I have an uncanny ability to pick the slowest checkout line in whichever store I’m in. Even if I move into the fastest moving line, it immediately slows down as soon as I am in it. ws
March to Madness.
I remember using a week’s vacation every year so I could watch the first round and second round of tournament basketball. I carefully filled out my brackets. I was so excited to watch my team advance and so heartbroken when their run was cut short. March madness was a big damn deal in my house.…
Things less shocking than Fani Willis getting to stay on the case against Trump…
Finding out that Obama is the Antichrist. Having proof that Joe Biden actually won the 2020 presidential election. Watching the Tennessee Titans win fourteen games this year. Seeing Ukraine beat Russia and repay those hundreds of billions they got from us to support them during their war. Being told by our government that the world…
