Speak Out 6-1-22
The first couple weeks of Tunes at Twilight have been perfect. Great music. Awesome weather. Thanks Old Town Cape. Thanks also for the downtown market. The strawberries are delicious, but so many good things to see and do there now. We appreciate what you all do...

Too much silence
It seems every time we have a tragic shooting with semi-automatic weapons we have a moment of silence. That moment of silence for the Republicans has lasted through Columbine, Virginia Tech, Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, Sandy Hook, Buffalo, NY and now Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas.
Drive better
Just a piece of friendly advice to the man in the big pickup pulling a trailer with a large lawn tractor on it who entered the roundabout on Sunday, May 29, and almost hit a small blue car. I was in the car directly behind the blue car and saw the entire thing. Even when the driver honked his horn, you just kept pulling out and even into the far left lane, which he had pulled over into to avoid being hit by you. Guess what? You did not have the right of way to enter the roundabout. Had you hit her, you would have been liable and ticketed. How do I know that? Because just a week ago, the same thing happened to me in the exact same spot on that roundabout. The other driver, the one who entered illegally just like you, not only got a ticket for failure to yield, his insurance company is replacing my car, which was totaled. Oh, and by the way, you didn't have your trailer lights hooked up and no license plate on it. So there are a few more tickets you would have gotten. Just a warning. Next time you drive so carelessly, you might really have to pay.

Beware nationalism
A new trend in Republican politics is Christian Nationalism. This is a blending of Conservative ideas with fundamentalist Christian values into a toxic brew of closed mindedness and hate-filled legislation. Nothing in this movement represents the true Christian teachings of compassion, love and acceptance. None of Jesus' teachings can be found in Christian Nationalism so beware of it and please reject it's hateful message.
Go Goldschmidt
I don't want to jinx anyone, but what Paul Goldschmidt is doing for the Cardinals is so much fun. Keep up the streak! Go Cardinals.
Cubanization of America
We are slowly headed for a depression, and it's intentional. We will soon have hyper inflation, our economy will crash overnight, our government doesn't have the tools to slow it down, the Democrats want to tear our country apart to form a socialist form of government, there will be elite and the poor and the elite will enrich themselves while the rest of us suffer. This has happened to Venezuela, Cuba and other countries.
