Home

I’m in my office, in my house, windows opened, sounds of gulls, crows, and sailboat masts gently clanking as I work. Evening sun lighting up the sky, my desk, autumn leaves just about at peak. This is what I’ve worked hard and saved for… this is it.

Reality Check on Racism and Age

I try not to be ageist, but some y’all millennials are just butt-fuck stupid as all hell. Didja see the racist boys marching in Charlotte? They were your generation or younger. Wake the fuck up.
