My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

A Saturday that is sunny, with deep blue sky. Nice!

Flashback:  Eleven years ago, I posted on Facebook: “It is time to tone down the rhetoric.” Things haven’t changed in over a decade. Sad.

The judge in the Ahmaud Arbery murder trial held a powerful moment of silence before sentencing the killers to life in prison. WOW!

Looking forward to a quiet week ahead.
