In August, we went to Montana to visit family who live on the Flathead Reservation of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The Pend d’Oreilles also call this land their home. It heightened my awareness of the Native American culture and contributions to the nation. November is Native American Heritage Month. It is a right and just thing to recognize this special time of recognizing and celebrating the ancient and proud peoples that called this land home well before Europeans. They have sacrificed much past and present, and their history is an important part of world history.
On Sun, Nov 2, 2025 don’t forget to set your clocks back to standard time. I hate moving the clocks back and forward, but in this case “gaining an extra hour of sleep” is not a bad thing.
I think candy corn gets a bad rap. My workplace handed out this little pouch of candy corn in advance of Halloween. It is appreciated. How sweet of them.
Sometimes the only thing you can blog about is what is in your heart, and that is sometimes influenced by what is going on around you. It’s all good to be authentic and to react to what you are feeling about stuff. I like posts like that and bloggers who tell the story they want to tell. With everything going on, it’s time to speak up and speak out. Our blogs are our platform.
I wish more billionaires were advocating for the little guy, than trying to cozy up to the corruption of power in high offices. The world could be a better place. But money makes the world go round, and many suffer as the rich get richer and the poor fall further behind.
I find the phrase “nobody cares” to be stupid. It is dismissive and rude. Everyone cares about something, and it might not be the thing you care about. If you care about something, share it with others so they have the opportunity to care too. Care and care alike, or something like that.
