The Madison Journal
Tuesday Morning is still unaccounted for in my published journal articles. An avalanche of colds took over and I lost my train of thought for a couple of weeks. Due to some road work GPS took us on some less direct roads taking us to Bedford, Indiana. My Aunt has lived there for quite a…

Islamo… What? Wrong Word It’s Antisemitism
Thank goodness for Veterans and Americans standing up for our morals in this country. Although some crazy people are taking down posters meant to be a reminder to not forget that these beautiful children were stolen from their Jewish parents. Hallelujah… there are some sane Americans left in New York City. Several people including some…

A Feisty Woman & Iran
This woman came into my peripheral vision during the Covid lockdown in 2020. I saw some of her posts and videos on Gab which I was only on for a short time and then on Telegram. She is a German woman with her own thoughts and she won’t be silenced. A recent article from the…

Listening to Uncle Tom
Interviewing Veterans was still a new experience for me. One of my teachers from high school gave a few of us a graduation gift.

Sullivan Building Back
Earlier this year a violent tornado ravaged from Illinois through Indiana. It is not an evening or night I will forget anytime soon. The next day I literally had a full day of light-headedness and dizziness. Memories that are hard to forget that I had never experienced from winds the day after even. Over the…

Hoosiers Everywhere Are Mourning
Growing up in Southern Indiana there aren’t too many of us who don’t know the name Bobby Knight. This coach is legendary and my Dad just happens to also be a high school basketball player back in his day. I have seen the video of him throwing the chair multiple times in my life even…

Listening To a Veteran
When Papaw Freddy told me his list of men I needed to interview his brother-in-law was high on the list. This was among the first couple I was able to do while Papaw was still alive. It was important to him, my Great Uncle Tom was a special man and I could see it in…

1890
The world in 1890 was much different when this little girl was born today. Dugger where she lived most of her life was a mining town and she lived just south of the town. Ironically, I just described myself, but I will come back to this thought later. Mining would be a part of her…

Inversion of Values
Okay I admit I got this title from the Senior Advisor of Israel’s Prime Minister. This distinct method of life and living is the fundamental difference between Hamas and Israel to think about right now. Life… who values life more? There are books I have read that can still give me nightmares when I think…
