 Hello Everyone.

This is a brand new endeavor for me. I do not guarantee that I will write regularly, although that is my intent as of now. I do not guarantee that I will make sense to you, although I can guarantee that it will make sense to me. I am just going to write what I am thinking about and invite you to come along on the journey.

I do have a few rules however. 

1) Disagree. Please do. I want to promote discussion. Be respectful of the people, whether me or another commenter, with whom you are disagreeing.

2) If all of your talk is emotion with no facts or data to back you up it will be deleted. This is for people who have at least some basis in reality for what they discourse on.

3) Have fun. We are going to be talking about some big ideas here. I invite you all to play and have fun while we do this.

4) If you think that I am not following my own rules then say so.

And that is pretty much it for this post. I have been thinking about this for a while and find that this format will probably work best for me. And we all together may just find that we can have some bid ideas that then maybe we put into action. Because the world really does not care about what we think about. It cares about what we do about.

See you all on the flipside.

So I Had a Dinger

 I went on a motorcycle ride with my nephew Ethan yesterday, Saturday June 8th 2024. It was a great day for riding and I enjoy Ethan's company a lot. So it was fun. Later in the afternoon we went our separate ways. Life and all that you know. I was heading through Sunapee, Newport, Claremont, Charlestown, to Keene, and then Marlborough NH to go to a meeting. Had plenty of time and was taking it easy. No worries. Right? At about 5:20 in the evening I was coming up the hill out of Newport NH. It was one lane and there is a Left Turn only lane that goes to Unity NH coming up on my left. There is a car in the Left Turn lane waiting to turn. What I'm going to tell next happened in about 3 seconds. I was coming up behind the car waiting to turn Left, in my lane, and had about 30 feet before I would be in front of them and gone. All of a sudden a little white car pulled out from in front of them turning into my lane to go in my direction. So I panicked. I locked it up and went sideway...

Being Poor and Homeless is Expensive

 When I was born my family, while not classically poor, would be classified as that. Everything  got stretched and there was never quite enough of anything. Thru a series of things we all got older. And when I was 14 thru 16 my Mum shipped me off to relatives several times. I was a "troubled" kid. What was really going on was I was starting to grow into a man and the fight between my step father and I was coming. And it was going to be nasty and bloody with, quite possibly, death being involved. The last time this happened I was 16 years old and it was the beginning of February 1980. She sent me to my father who lived outside of Toronto Ontario. Five years before, when my older brother was 16, she had shipped him off to our father and things had worked out well. My brother had a good experience and some good things happened. The situation was very different five years later, in February of 1980, when I went up there. After 10 or 11 days on a very cold February night my Father...

Helmets? Oh Yeah!!!

Image
 As anyone who reads me knows I had a motorcycle accident three day ago on Saturday. And my body is letting me know today that it is not happy with me at this time. Somehow, every single muscle between my beltline and neck got strained, and aggravated. And so sleeping is a new adventure. Getting from prone to sitting up is a new adventure in pain. Then standing up, same thing. So my body has taken some abuse. And I am in constant, mostly, low level pain as my body lets me know it is not a fan. So anyone who read my last knows that I was knocked unconscious during this accident. And thus, many of the details are unknown to me. I know that the clothes the first responders cut off me had a lot of signs of sliding on pavement. And my phone case is showing signs of sliding on pavement. Well, let me show you my helmet, which I am really glad that I was wearing: As you can see the impact cracked it and the dragging it along concrete scuffed the daylights out of it. Lot's and Lot's of ...
