Mistakes

Mistakes.  We've all made them.  Some of mine have been real doozies.  Family and friends can attest to that.  Ideally we learn from them and from the mistakes of others.  But we don't always pay enough attention to the details of the lesson.  But if you eat crow enough times, you learn how.

Berkeley Is OUT of Control

There are a lot of videos coming out of  Berkeley University in California showing the ongoing conflict between Trump supporters and the anti-Trump snowflakes.  But the snowflakes are not acting like snowflakes, instead they are acting like thugs and hoodlums, defying the law, rioting, and causing general unrest and attacking anyone who doesn't agree with … Continue reading Berkeley Is OUT of Control
