Diversity and prejudice are the two sides of the same coin. Free thought and speech are the foundation stones of all rights and freedoms. Ben Franklin is credited with saying that we have a republic if we can keep it when asked what form of government we would have. He was an advocate of fre…
Ever since the last election in 2020, we have been listening to a constant flow of opinions and political polls. If you ask me, I will tell you, I am tired of them and I will ban them from the news. The constant flow of speculation for the coming election this year is at best confusing and c…

I hate to drive in snow. So, every year when the weather warms up, I look forward to the fact that I don’t have to deal with that road hazard for a while. I won’t have to defrost my windows or worry about slipping and sliding to town. But, that excitement is short-lived.
