I grew up in the south of Spain in a little community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, my father told me I could drive him into a remote village called Mijas, about 18 miles away, on the condition that I take the car to be serviced at a nearby garage .Having just learned to drive and hardly ever having opportunity to use the car, I readily accepted.

"Until We Put God First"
FOREWARD As a pragmatist, college graduate, and run-of-the-mill rational adult, I shun Facebook like antivaxxers court preventable diseases. Facebook, excuse me, "Meta," is where societal jetsam feigns possessing informed, unbiased, and nuanced opinions on everything from gender dysmorphia to election tampering. Facebook is the internet's premiere online open mic for bowling alley bartenders to wax intellectual on esoteric geopolitical developments decades in the making, spelling and grammar be damned. Facebook is an echo chamber wherein dropouts and washouts become the next American Idol by targeting equally tone-deaf amateur audiences, and where mom's basement-based conspiracy theorists swear by outlandish scenarios they lack the CV, passport stamps, service rank, graduate degree, or security clearance to have acquired, much less fact-checked. It wasn't easy, but, last presidential election cycle, I retired from the "laying waste to false, ignorant, and hyper partisan social media content" game. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
