Today Is For The Lefties – International Lefthanders Day

August 13th is International Lefthanders Day, a day for left-handed people to celebrate the cool things we do to make the world a better place. We are unique, different, and quirky.

In my trip to Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Alberta and British Columbia, I discovered that indigenous reservations and national parks should be defended and protected from any change. They are ancient lands that deserve to be preserved from harm and should never be taken from the people and wildlife who call it home because they have had enough taken from them.
