People have started using their state birds as Rebel Alliance–inspired symbols (from Star Wars) to say, “this is where I am, and I’m not okay with what’s happening.” This is the Mockingbird from Tennessee.

Cold
America is a cold place where ICE does things that freeze the soul. Nostalgia can be a dual-edged sword, but I long for days when there was warmth and sanity. There is so much going on that leaves a tear to the eye and a clenching of the heart. Life is hard, and the struggle is indeed real. It seems like Winter is everywhere and people are stuck out in the cold. Too many lives have perished in it. I wonder if the future is going to be frigid like the present. Friends safety comes from being out in from the cold. May no one else lose their lives and may they be safe. It’s cold, and I wonder when it will be warm again.
I Stand With Minnesota
Minneapolis and Minnesota did not ask for the crap it’s going through. The violence and murders have to stop. I hope for peace and safety for the people there.
Weather Wednesday
We are expecting some winter weather here in the Chattanooga, area this weekend. Like anything, this forecast can change over the next couple of days. It’s my hope we won’t be in any danger, but a little snow would be nice.
Meteorology is hard, and those who practice it do their best to get things right. Give those who are doing their best a break. I say be cool, be kind.
Celebrating A Dreamer and A Doer – Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the United States. He was a minister, a leader, a dreamer, and a civil rights icon. I feel like it’s more important than ever to remember all the things he did and to continue the fight for equality, justice, and love. The people of the world are better because he lived what he preached and made things better for so many. His work continues on in those he influenced. We need that work now more than ever. Thank you, Dr. King, for putting hands and feet to your faith.
A Photo Of Me In 2016
There is this thing online where people are posting pictures of them and other stuff from 2016. Now that is 10 years ago if my math is right. It seems like it was just yesterday or something like that. The picture I have chosen is from Universal Orlando Resorts City Walk in Orlando, Florida. Notice there is more hair and no beard. At least I was having fun.
