Rambling About Sharing One’s Views
I don’t expect everyone to agree with me who visits my blog or my social media platforms. However I do hope for respect, dialogue and understanding. Many of us have the freedoms our countries provide to express how we feel and we must be mindful there are those who do not. As a person with those freedoms I will never take them for granted nor will I use them in such a way that is demeaning. Everyone is worthy of grace and love while some in the public eye deserve some constructive criticism. It is my hope that despite our differences we can remain friends and friendly.
Just so you know my beliefs, blogging and politics are left-leaning but a good deal of the time I tend to be a moderate. Just so you know what to expect here.
If you find what I have to say as being something you cannot accept, I do understand. For those who chose to hang around I want to say thank you for your time when you visit here. I do appreciate it.
Tax Deadline Day In The United States
Today is the day when federal income tax returns are due to the government. Normally tax day is the 15th but this year it is on the 18th due to a holiday. We had to pay some this year which is better than in years past when we paid a lot. Instead of e-filing this year I put the return in the mail. Sometimes old school is best. It will be interesting to see how many last minute filers there will be this year. It’s nice to have had a couple extra days to get it done. Two constants in life…death and taxes.

This is an extreme case of falling asleep on the job. You never know where you might end up.
Zootopia, A Great Modern Disney Flick
Ninety percent of the world is prey and 10 percent is predator at least that is what the movie Zootopia says about the world it exists in. I tend to say that is about what it is in the real world. Some of us are prey, some of us are predators. Can we live with each other? I don’t know but what I do know is that predators can make life hard for the weak and defenseless.
Zootopia is a delightful movie with a lot of social messages. It’s about opportunity, equality, cooperation, family, love and peace. The core of this movie is the dream of a female rabbit wanting to make the world a better place. I can dig that. Animals coexisting with one another in a place where the balance of life is a part of its utopia. This movie has a great cast and is very well done. I find it better than “Frozen” and “UP”.
On a personal note: After spending a few days in the Universal Studios ecosphere I felt like I betrayed them somehow.
