This is a catch all area for thoughts and things. |
| This is merely a collection of my thoughts on various topics, as I think of them, or find them in my other writings. All are original, and I state freely that they are generally highly opinionated. |
| Is Mitt Romney the only Republican in the Senate who has retained a sense of ethics? Trump is a president with no ability to differentiate between his needs and the country's needs. He also constantly makes things up, on the fly, to suit a situation. He has disparaged the press corps, demeaning their very purpose, to inform us. The impeachment trial was a farce with a good number of senators admitting he was guilty of the charges submitted to them, yet, they voted to acquit. That in itself is a flagrant disregard of their duties as senators. Where is their shame? |
| Wow! my head spins in a Möbius strip pattern. National, Statewide, Local – Makes no difference. It’s a fascinating, frightening, and fragile situation. Where will we go from here? “Can’t we all get along” has become meaningless. My hope is that we are experiencing a huge reorganization, a housecleaning of sorts. For that to be true (truth has become a suspicious concept) we have to be better informed and definitely morally better than those holding political office today. It’s time We, the People stop acting like our elected officials. It’s time to use them as a bad example on how to act and do better among ourselves. It’s time to throw out this foolish, destructive behavior and get our collective public act together to act as a viable, productive community. No easy task, but we can do it. We can “get our act together” to become a community willing and certainly ready to improve our political lot. It’s a tough road, but we have to do it for our own survival. Stop allowing Congress. the president, the governor, the state legislature, the mayor, and city council to provide us with their self-enriching truths. It’s time we started providing Congress. the president, the governor, the state legislature, the mayor, and city council with our truths and demanding they stick to our agenda. Go! Go on! Get started before it’s too late to save ourselves. What do you think; post your comments? |

| Finally finished my book last Friday and sent it to the publisher. |
| Wrote two Memorial Day blogs today. Here are their links: http://goo.gl/d5XLZb http://goo.gl/MHXZNG Not sure if it was too much. |
| Fall fell quickly here in Norfolk, VA. Once day we are having record high temperatures, and the next day temperatures are more than 20 degrees colder. Global un-warming? |
| I know it seems that my writing is falling off, but, really, it is not. I have been writing a blog for our local paper's web site and that has kept me busy with 400 to 1200 words per entry. This started in mid-May and continues to be both fun and challenging. I have just renewed my Writing.com membership and hope to be adding morewriting in the not to far away future.

| Attended a city meeting yesterday, and the topic was crime prevention. The mayor and most city council members were there. The keynote speaker was most interesting and inspiring, although I do wish they had chosen one that spoke more directly to the topic at hand, crime prevention. We broke into groups of 15 or so; there were 26 groups in all. During the 90 minutes or so in my group, we had a lively discussion, moderated by a city employee. This was the most interesting and, in my opinion, useful part of the morning. I do hope the comments we made make it back to City Council members and other city officials. We'll see. |
