There is a lot of stuff going on in America right now. And in politics it’s hard to tell whether some politicians realize this is a free country or whether they want to change it to a dictatorship.
I don’t like what I see for the future but hopefully it won’t end up being like it looks like it could.

My dad told me this morning to always give 100%. I wonder if he knew I was donating blood today?
If you are not supposed to eat at night then why is there a light bulb in the refrigerator?
I started my first day as a crime investigator. The detective asked, “How did this man drown.” I said, “He couldn’t breathe underwater.”
