Out There In Space.
Starting the week in peace is the way it should go. Busy is fine. Chaos, not so much. Unfortunately, Mondays are generally chaos. All of the people who didn’t need or want something last week, want it now. Immediately. At once. On their deadlines. That’s been happening. A lot as the world starts to wake […]

Day Break
The week from hell. This coming week. The US presidential election. It’s here. It’s now. It’s Tuesday. It affects all of you. In every country. It doesn’t matter if you live on some remote island. Or, in the most urban center in The United States. Election day won’t put an end to the stupidity of […]
