If It Ain’t Black & Blue, It Prolly Ain’t True

Jussie-Smollett-suspect

In today’s world, access to products, services, and people is greater than it has ever been or ever imagined before.  From the power of ordering online with next day arrival to the ability to communicate with others around the world in seconds, if what you have to say or sell can’t be heard or sold, it’s very likely your own fault.

Trump and CircumsPence: Much Ado Bout Nothing

Trump-supporter-RNC-CLE-2016

Since it was here, maybe a few words should be said.  About the Republican National Convention, that is.  Most of us in Cleveland, Ohio were mostly concerned about whether our usual routines would be disrupted and, if so, by how much. There were roadblocks, highway entrances and exits diverted or closed, and the expected traffic pattern changes with the usual casualties:  all business stopped to some businesses.

It’s weird.
