DRAIN

It is impossible to have and maintain a clean sink when the drain is clogged. Inevitably the drain will become clogged, usually with scum, hair, grease and other unpleasant objects. So is the situation in Washington D.C. We have hired a rooter man, Donald Trump, now we need to let him do his job. Just […]

CONFUSED

THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN PRIOR TO THE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN SYRIA ON FRIDAY NIGHT, APRIL 13. With age we all become more aware of our physical and mental health. I pray I am not suffering the effects of early onset Alzheimer’s or dementia. The reason this is bothersome is I listen to the […]

I have listened to politicians, heard the talking heads and read several articles on […]
