Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.

Kudos To Walmart For Starting The Change To Save Our Environment.
Is Walmart starting a new trend? Hopefully. After doing research on the subject for a recent challenge and learning that plastic bags can take up to 40 years, or in excess of a hundred years depending on their make-up, I was rather excited the other day when I saw a tweet indicating that Walmart would be going bagless by July 1st, 2021. This, unfortunately, was not entirely true. I would however like to commend Walmart on their stance and what would appear to be their commitment to being part of the solution.

The Hearts Call
Five years ago the world woke up one day and was in tatters as the long-coming apocalypse finally occurred. We all went to sleep one night in June of 2021, all of us expecting the next day would be there for us. At 2:37 am, central standard time, the Yellowstone Super Volcano that we heard stories for years about, erupted. The fear scientists had for years turned out to be justified, over half of the country was destroyed in a matter of minutes. Hundreds of thousands of people were obliterated during the first minute of the blast, a blast that could be seen by astronauts on the Internation Space Station.

The People of The State of California VS Orenthal James Simpson-An Unsolved Murder
I'll never forget going down to the main floor waiting room at Cottage Hospital in Galesburg Illinois on a warm summer day in June of 1994. I was there to visit my great-grandmother and desperately needed a break from family squabbling. In the waiting area I, like those already there, was distracted by the ongoing car chase playing out nationally. Knowing that it was unusual for a car chase to be covered coast to coast I stopped and listened to the reporters, amazed by what I heard; the Los Angeles Police were chasing down O.J. Simpson as a suspect in his ex-wife's murder.

When Did We First Notice UFOs And Why I'm Not Expecting A Bombshell From The Report On UAPs To Congress
The video below is perhaps one of the more sensational ones taken by an eyewitness in recent months. It's one of the thousands that are out there and one of the hundreds that have already been shared with the public over social media. This reminded me of something I hadn't had time to consider lately, the forthcoming, expected to be, bombshell report that congress will receive later this month.

Will This Be The Summer Of Blood Version 2021?
It's Saturday morning, June the 5th, 2021 and it feels like it's still 2020, or rather I'm realizing that there's no sign of an end to the horror show that could be aptly titled America. Over the past years, we have all had to bear witness to the horrors of life in America. Police have been at the center of these controversial times in America as the public outcry for justice reform carries on. I honestly feel for the men and women who put on the badge and try to do the job every day. As a former Law Enforcement officer, I have fears for the future of policing and for those that might want to be in the profession. There just simply doesn't appear to be an end to the horror show that is life in America.

From Idea To Beginning And The Work In Between, The Makings Of A Masterpiece.
I sit down, remembering the ideas I had flow through my mind today. My imagination was in high gear. Turning on my computer with one hand and opening my notepad with another, I look around my desk for one of those things I lose plenty of, a pen. Ideas that flooded my mind while I was working at my 9 to 5 job now start to flow out onto the paper in the form of gel-ink. There were so many ideas that I had no idea where to start, exactly that is. However, as they start to take shape on paper, I realize that I've got several bits of information to look up to support my idea. So I start doing research.

Memorial Day, Honoring The Heroes That Didn't Make It Home And Remembering Those That Are The Best Of America.
People come and go in life. It's not without suffering and pain but rather just a part of human existence. As summer months slowly roll in and warmer weather is upon us, my thoughts turn to yet another season of barbeques, time with family, hanging out in the pool, fireworks, and remembering all of those that made it possible for us to enjoy these treasured events. While I was never one of those that I speak of, I learned to hold them in the highest of regards as they were all heroes. Each and every one of them that ever signed on the dotted line. Each and every one of the men and women that defend our country, sacrificing that time with their loved ones, so that we can enjoy ours. They are an impressive bunch.
