  • The Tipping Point

    With an orange blob in a house the world is beginning to shift & to tip. By berating a leader of a country at war is unprofessional & frankly mean spirited.

    The tipping point happened this past Fall where fake news beat real news & it became about sides & not health care or the ever changing environment. It became about spreading lies, lies that are still used to this day.

    Tipping points are dangerous for many reasons, they can be a cultural shift or a societal shift. It can be a shift towards aggression & war or like now driving the world into a recession.

    A recession that may take us years to recover from. Over tariffs being placed on what were allies of the United States. Because the orange blob “claims” that incorrectly the world “owes” the US. For What?

    No, we’re in a tipping point & the lines between allies & enemies are becoming blurry like an ugly guy in a bar with beer goggles on groping at any woman in sight. No, we’re not going to recover from this circus for years if ever. The tipping point has been reached & the boat is taking on water but there aren’t enough life rafts or vests for everyone on board. All I ask is was it worth it to support a fascist?

  • A moleskin

    Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.

    As a writer the best gift I’ve ever received was a moleskin journal over a decade ago. Now, I won’t use anything else.

    Moleskins are great, as the paper quality is exceptional & I use them constantly. I’ve two one for personal feelings & observations & the other for just general observation in my day.

    I can’t go anywhere without one. What’s the best gift you’ve been given?

  • An Ericsson

    Write about your first computer.

    We tried the first Mac but my dad didn’t like it. It was the Spring or Summer in 1985. He bought an Ericsson essentially IBM computer with a yellow screen & dot matrix printer.

    I played flight simulator on it & wrote papers for school & such. The yellow screen was something else. It used nearly 10 minutes to start & if you had to reboot, forget it you didn’t have a computer for over 20 minutes!

    Anyway, we had it until it became unrepairable. My dad took out the motherboard & we put the rest in the garbage. But that damn dot matrix printer didn’t die for years.
