LOOKING OUT TO SEA"
I lived in South Texas on a peninsula protruding into the Gulf of Mexico in the fishing villages of Fulton and Rockport. I took the photo one foggy day 9 years ago. When I lived there the tropical birds that occupied the coast became my friends and my comfort zone as they seemed to pose for me on many occasions. I have so many personal photos of the beautiful birds of South Texas. I wanted to share with my friends on Vocal.

Angry at the Sun
I am angry at the sun. I am angry at the sun for shining its spotlight on my insecurities. The sweat on my brow, The sweat on my upper lip, The sweat pouring down my face In buckets; I am a mess. I am angry at the sun for searing my flesh Though I did everything I could to prevent from being cooked alive. I think the sun wants to eat me. Although my flesh is browned and charred by the hellish sun, I don't smell very delectable at all. I wouldn't eat me. I am angry at the sun for weighing me down with its unbearable heat. Heat that I carry upon my back and in the sweat on my brow that pulls me down to the depths of hell until I'm too weary to go on. I am angry at the sun for causing my skin to grow older than my heart and for causing the cancer to grow in the skin of my father and mother. I am really angry at the sun for that. The sun is a cancerous growth pressing down on the charred flesh of my shoulders Increasing the volume of sweat in my brow and on my lip Reminding me that I could have just stayed inside instead.

"SCAMMERS & IMPOSTERS"
I am attaching a short 15-minute video that explains the new scams in 2024. We speak of AI and how that affects people, but we need to expose these celebrity scammers and all scammers to everyone and continue to write stories regarding these omnipotent, malicious scam gangsters.
