Because in these times it’s needed When I first heard the glorious XTC “Skylarking” back in the day, I absolutely and totally fell in love with it. The sounds evoked summer, love and lust in equal measure. It was (is) brilliant. I plan on listening to it A LOT this…

My UK Sojourn

AKA: “And now, for something completely different” According to a Washington Post story that I looked at earlier today, travel advisories are being issued for travelers to perhaps wait and put off the summer vacations and wait until the early Autumn instead, especially with regards to international flights, which, given…

“Not our job,” says Chairman Bennie Thompson

REALLY??? Then, whose job is it, exactly??? I’ve been trying to keep up with the January 6th hearings and I just came across this pithy bon mot quoted above.

Especially “elected ones”… Here’s the link to the article: Jan. 6 Committee Splits Over Possible Criminal Referral for Trump WASHINGTON-As the Jan. 6 select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol continues its public hearings, a…www.wsj.com

Blaze of Glory…

The Concept of “Arming” Teachers to…Teach. So, it’s finally happened. The state of Ohio just announced earlier today that it is “reducing” the amount of training that teachers must undergo to have a gun in the classroom from 700 hours to…less than 24 hours. Yes, you read that…

“America Makes Most People Very Sick” (Part Two)

It’s Killing Us… So, three more things I want to focus on today with this piece. (1) Vaccines (aka those of us who receive them and those of us who do not). To many of us, this would seem to be a “no brainer” but alas, in America, where EVERYTHING…

Today in “America”…

Is, all too sadly, like MOST days in America — meaning… More gun violence. More “Our (insert name/company/politician here) thoughts and prayers are with you.” And — more insanity surely left to come because of guns and unfettered violence which shows no end in sight. More rights being taken away…
