Graffiti depresses me and sends a signal to me that there are people who have little regard for the looks of our country. Graffiti is not beautiful and adds to the general malaise in our country.
The new tyranny is not out in the open, but it affects nearly all of us. It is perpetrated in cubicles, offices and meetings involving people invisible to us. Yet, if you have an email address, it reaches you.
As this election season comes to an end, I want to thank the publisher and especially you, the readers, for encouraging me as I have expressed my opinions.
I believe it was back in the Obama Administration that they started talking about denser housing in the cities. I have done a tiny amount of research on this and discovered that it appears to have started with the concept of the “15-Minute City.”

What we don’t know is if Harris is saying the things she is saying today just to get elected and if she will follow through with them if elected. As vice president, she seems to have ignored the office and the mandates President Biden has given her.

John called me this past Monday afternoon. He was at home. He wanted me to know he had had a heart attack, and they had put in two stents. He was joking that he had never drank or smoked and mused as to whether he should have.
