*WARNING* Sanity unload to follow.  You may be in opposition to my comments.  My comments may provoke, although that is not my intent. I've never felt so furious in my life.  The majority of what I hear on social media/news is that what happened to George Floyd is a tipping point in history that demands "dialog" for change. I agree—dialog: A conversation between two persons (viewpoints).  However, what is happening is a monologue that assaults my thoughts and challenges my character.  I intentionally did not start my comment stating what happed to George Floyd was wrong; IT WAS, but to me, that acknowledgment is a weak qualifier in expressing what I am feeling.  "George Floyd was murdered, but..."  I am focusing on what happened after Mr. Floyd's murder.  With 63 years of life complete, I am confronted with a monologue each day in my electronically fused world.  I am racists because - I have "white privilege," I did not post a black square in my FB

Blue Is A Good Color

My Facebook profile is changing all too often to the "Thin Blue Line."  I will not be tainted by the loud few because, I know that the men and women in blue are good.  Thank you to those who allow my family to work, play and sleep in peace.

Brush & Paint

April 20, 2014 - Bolsa Chica, CA While enjoying a walk with my beautiful wife, we came upon this man painting the scene we had just walked through.  I wish I had the talent to capture the beauty of nature with brush and paint.  For now, my camera will have to do.
