Dipping toes in the water
Author: Raine    Date: 08/30/2021 13:02:19

In 2020 many of us had to let go of (or be forced to do) many things. Around June of this year we started to go back to the "new normal". I find myself saying "This is the first time since 2019 that we (insert event here)." It proves to be jarring, wonderful and even intimidating at times.

180 Degrees

Good Morning.

Not quite a year ago, I lamented some personal losses from Covid. Not people - rather, intangibles. Happiness, Fulfillment, Hope, Opportunity, Health. You know, things we took for granted before 2020.

Cleanup on Aisle One!
Author: BobR    Date: 08/25/2021 13:24:49

President Biden was sworn into office on Jan 20, 2021. That was just 7 months ago. He inherited a mess, and that's putting it mildly. The previous four years with TFG were a non-stop firehose of ineptness, malfeasance, and outright treachery.

It did happen here.

Suddenly they want you to think they care. They want you to think they have matured and will show the world they are responsible.
