Confrontational Situations
The recent incident in Washington DC where high-school students were mocking a Native American elder while he sang a prayer really ticked me off. As the wider explanation was offered, the reasons for the faceoff became clearer. Nevertheless, a lot of things were done wrong. At the root of it all was a lack of […]
It Rolls On
And the government shut-down drags on… I went through the shutdown in 2013 and loved it. Hubby and I were set financially, having saved several months salaries to get buy in case of emergency.
