Trying something new

Y or N?
20 Random Thoughts about the 2016 POTUS Race

No, we can’t just get a new VAN. . .
So, at this point everyone should have heard about the data issue that happened involving the the Democrats running for President. However, there seems to be a lot of misinformation floating around out there about what happened, along with people just having no...
20 Hours in America. . . .
There’s a lot going on in the world right now – with the bad out shadowing the good. I have a lot of thoughts and feelings going through my mind, but at this time I am unable to translate them into something coherent.
