Finality of Life

Last evening, I had a message waiting for me from my aunt Sharon. It was a link to an obituary for my younger cousin. He passed earlier in the week. I have to admit, that sometimes I'm bombarded with so many messages that it's hard to get through all of them. And the Facebook posts that are shares and resends get to be too much and eventually I turn them off. But this message was important. And it kind of brought a few things back into perspective. I've been dealing with an upcoming job change that has been forced upon me. I didn't realize that when I saw my cousin Jason last month at my dad's funeral, that that would be the last time I would talk to him. How would any of us know that he would die unexpectedly a month later? But yet it happened. In between all of that, we had an election and another outcome that will thrust change upon us. We live in a high-paced, ever-changing world. And it seems as though people are growing meaner and more impatient. Perhaps when our leadership exhibits those traits, it's no wonder. But it's not the way we should be living. The news I received last evening, reminds me that every interaction we have with every other person could be our last. We just never know. So we need to be kind to others. Always.

Government by the Criminals, for the Criminals

In the current political climate, such things as wiretapping, or getting oral sex from a White House intern, seem like rather minor issues. It makes me wonder if any of the president elect's supporters are now regretting their decisions? Or, are they jumping for joy because now there will be a guy who paid for sex with minors as the United States Attorney General? We are entering a phase of "government by the criminals, for the criminals." I can't help but think that most Americans aren't particularly smart, and that they have sold their souls to Mephistopheles.

Trump's Cabinet Picks...

Poop Bucket?

I've been trying to tell my son that this is a picture of a guy holding a bucket of poop really far away from himself because it stinks so bad. I don't think he believes me... 🤣

It's Dark in the USA

My idea that most people do exactly the wrong thing to get what they want, is ringing loud and clear right now. 183,000 Americans die every year due to poverty. If you don't believe me, look it up. As power is now consolidated in the hands of the rich, watch that number go up.
