All of our trick- or-treaters were polite kids, with parents on the sidewalk.

But some truck-or-treaters in Louisiana spoiled the Halloween experience for everyone around.

Every waking moment of every day of our lives, we are presented with a myriad of choices, large and small, most we don't even notice. But I was reminded of Sowell's phrase when I read an article …

A vacation to the Carolinas.

Neither hubby nor I had ever been to the Carolinas, so when we received an invitation to a Hillsdale College Economic Forum in Charlotte, I jumped at the chance to visit. What clinched it was the fact that one of the speakers would be the young database guru who goes by the X handle of …

The Fair…and some Dismay

So far, this has been an upsetting year all around. So the brief interlude at the Puyallup Fair was a welcome getaway from the the ugliness around us. We went on a weekday (last Friday), so the crowds were light, parking was plentiful, and the exhibits we wanted to see were open. First stop: 4H …

Now This is Alarming and Horrifying!! mRNA Vaccines in Your Vegetables?!!

And you thought your representatives in Congress supported you? Well, think again. This post is as horrible as any I have seen.
