Kerry and I left last Wednesday morning at 6am and drove to Wells, Nevada and spent the night in a Super8 Motel, the only one in the area that would take our traveling buddies (ziggy the fat orange cat and joey the aussie cattle dog). The town was a dive. I know this because the […]

I think free speech is the greatest thing about the USA. It’s what makes this country a true democracy and it’s the benchmark of any country claiming that they are a democracy. Holding free and fair elections is only part of being a democracy. The other part is free speech and freedom of information. So […]
