Writing, Photography, and the life lessons I learned from Street Academy
When the Australian bushfires tore through the Great Southern Land, and the world watched as billions of animals and millions of acres of land were burned to a crisp, the heroes of that time were the Australian firefighters, the ones that did whatever they could to stem back the life-destroying infernos. Think about this. This…
Read MoreIt wasn’t an affair. Let’s get things straight now. Mary Kay Letourneau did NOT “have an affair” with one of her students. She did not just “engage in sexual relations” with that student.

Read MoreIf you want to see some seriously VICIOUS and ON-POINT anti-Trump videos, you only need to sign up to the Twitter feeds of Medias Touch, a progressive anti-Trump PAC, and The Lincoln Project, a conservative anti-Trump organization.

Read MoreIt’s the political gaffe that keeps on gaffing. The other day, Donald Trump set up a last-minute photo opportunity in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church by having the military use tear gas and chemical weapons on peaceful protestors to clear area.

Read MoreLast October, I mentioned news of a possible resurrection of railroad service that was the old Saratoga and North Creek Railroad.
