A Day Off
I haven’t had a day off since the early 2000’s. I am so tired and weary. Actually, I am disgusted. Not having a break in more than 25 years is maddening. Day in and day out, the same thing, constant aggravation, and misery and surrounded by angry people, takes a toll. I feel like I am on the turnpike of no return, and the toll cost is higher than it should be, or I can afford..

RATS IN SHADOW
There are rats in our house!! A nest of rats have made their home in our house, and we don’t care. Let them hide, let them breed, in fact we are going to hide them and encourage more.

And why are we protecting the rats, that spread plague?

Maybe it’s natural or the age old good versus evil, biblically speaking, good being God, love and peace, or the Devil’s, brand of hate and chaos. I don’t know which, and more than likely it is a combination of both. But enough is enough. The ignorance and the bullying is wearing thin, and frankly, it is a disgusting habit, like smoking.

A Baby's First Smile
That feeling you get when your newborn baby, beams that gummy smile at you is pretty special. It is a feeling a parent gets that is so fleeting, that you forget it a minute right after and don’t ever think about it or truly remember it again. There will be millions of smiles in life. But the first smile is like the first spring rain and vice versa. Spring in general, gives you that feeling of the first time, for something. It’s renewal, a refreshment of the spirit, after the doldrums of winter.

Meteorologist
February, the month of love, black history, and then there is the rat. Adults, looking to a rodent for predictions in weather and the future of winter and spring. When on earth did that become a celebrated thing? It’s ridiculous, and yet some take it seriously.

The Department of Non Education
You are scrolling through a feed, and see a question on the top of the post. We queried one hundred college students. Out of curiosity, you want to know what they asked our young educated kids. It’s a simple question really. What year what the Declaration of Independence?
