Where are the responsible adults?

The distortion field surrounding politics becomes more absurd with each passing day. The question; “Where are the responsible adults who used to make policy decisions?” may not be worth asking anymore. Unfortunately the lack of leadership we are experiencing is not just election season hype. Newspeak and misdirection are practiced with a straight face by our leaders who offer us little beyond “Bread and circuses”, magical thinking.

Government ain’t baseball, something to watch on Saturday afternoon. We cheat ourselves at the peril of our children. Make your voice heard. 

Vote for a better America!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Valentines Card

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone,

As five or six year-old children we made Valentines cards using construction paper, glue and scissors. Sixty five years ago children made things with their hands. It was how we learned rudimentary manual skills so necessary in the lives of our parents and grandparents. Education is much more forward looking today than in the fifties.

This simple card is muscle memory transformed from paper into something digital. It is an attempt to be somewhat relevant in the present day. My natural demographic is out of step with the future. Today making things with your hands is unnecessary and even frowned upon as a waste of time.

A dubious advantage of age is the ability to interpret the present based upon life experience. I’m cursed by mechanical ability which is the result of the blessings of a visual mind. I can see the most intricate details of the physical world. This mind trick it is always mine to use.
