#47 has used Soliman's Colorado attack as political fodder to blame the Democratic Party because he entered the U.S. legally in 2022, during Biden's term. Soliman skipped his court date. Where was ICE? Denying legals their right to due process in courts. Not going after criminals as they claim.

Longest running month in 2 years. Running to keep my sanity amidst all the insanity.

5 minutes on ANY media source reduces what's happening to two words; SHIT SHOW! What more "evidence" does anyone with a brain need that this regime is not acting in their best interest. They are not public servants. They are crooks.

Only we can find solutions. This is our inherited quest. To set aside our hatred, and build on some respect. Search now for the lighthouse, and rage against the waves. Lift the world from the icy currents or be the last to drown. ~The last verse from a song I wrote, called "Lighthouse", in 1998.

Last year was the worst year of running I've had since I started in 1974. I only ran 300 in 2024. I hit 200 yesterday for 2025 to date, and I'm beginning to get some of my speed back. At 65 years old, I'm happy to still be putting one foot in front of the other. Like in life, never give up!

When I feel darkest, I look at the light that emanates from my own front yard.

One of our two blueberry bushes. The other is growing berries. Trimmed them. Made a moat of dead leaves for mulch. Added coffee grounds and water.

A couple of thoughts after decades of teaching Civics and never missing an election since I became eligible in 1978: We need better candidates across the board. Also, it's high time we did our best to make it impossible for politicians to make a career of it. They are supposed to be working for us!

Well, nothing else seems to be working.
