Go Take a Hike!

Yesterday someone told me to go take a hike. So, today I did. It was a great idea! Snowstorm a week ago, 78°F yesterday, 37°F at the time of the hike...

"Thanks Joe Biden!"

I'm really getting tired of high prices. I think our government is going to crap. And now a war? Thanks a lot Joe Biden!

My wife started working part-time after being the 4th person on staff, seriously injured by the same student. Some of her teacher colleagues gave her this orchid yesterday.

The Results of Poor Leaders

There is no shortage of garbage videos on social media, that were created by AI. Yesterday, I saw a video of dead children being pulled out of bomb created rubble in Iran. The images were so disturbing because it was real. Recently, I have worked with children, and they don't understand war. Most adults don't understand it.

USA Needs an Upgrade

We need a new version of everything in the USA. We need a new version that isn't a 2-party system. We need a new version of DEI that is actually fair and equitable and not just reversed. You can't have these extremes of left and right, because they start to become similar after a while--and they, in no way, represent the rest of the population.
