Maybe an inside/out point of view... their workaday agenda

It was a terrible story, but.... At a small local airport a plane crashed and killed several people that were aboard. They were all students at a skydiving school going up for their first lesson. 😕

Or why every newscaster and "personality" on earth now uses the disgusting and mis-used word "impacted" to mean something other than a tooth!!! And it sure as hel* isn't a "wisdom" tooth, even if they did!!

I hope if someone sends me a bunch of styrofoam (?), they pack it in those plastic sheets of bubble wrap. Great memories of the boys and me sitting on the floor and shooting at each other...pop..pop..pop. 😉

I think the pleasure found in popping bubble wrap must be universal. Does anyone not enjoy it?

The genius of our republic, as conceived by our wise founding fathers, rests in the countervailing balance of power and in the requisite

in taste for the banal and a tawdry cheapness which shall outlast our days. In line with your logic, Andy, though it need not have been so.
