December 18, 2024 …join ’em!

Begun on November 11, 2024… With acknowledgement to all of our dearly departed service men and women.

June 9, 2024 I used to write the “g” in god in a capital letter — when I feared god. But like so many others (many of whom hypocritically proselytize that we should all fear god’s wrath and the second coming of his son) — I no longer fear god to pay him/her/It reverence by using a Big
