The only thing I know that is grabbing our attention today is the unbelievable number of storms and tornadoes going on here in the central United States, including SIDEWAYS tornadoes. Ryan Hall Ya’ll (link below) has been live for 11 hours. It’s 10:17pm PST and he’s still reporting. You know it’s very intense when Ryan continues to say “this is unbelievable!”

THIS, friends. And a Sun Tzu moment – as Trump had said he may sign it on Friday. Instead, he signed on the 17th. There’s significance in this. I feel it.
Another Sun Tzu move:
Time is speeding up. I’m seeing it on my clocks now.
You know how I know time is speeding up?
I have a digital clock in my bedroom.
Over 10 years old.
It is not keeping up with the time on my Android phone.
Just earlier this year, there was a 3-minute difference.
Now there’s a SIX-minute difference.
PEDO arrests continue. It’s appalling how many of them there are.

Storytime. A woman. A walk. And a Dog named Boise. My latest piece:
“…As my mind was lost in memories of the past, I suddenly wished my daughter were there with me, reminding myself that in just a few short years she will be leaving the nest, so our times together are something I absolutely do my best to not take for granted. Suddenly wanting to snuggle something and having no one there, the Universe must have picked up on that mama need, for what did I see next, eyeing me from across the street, but a dog.

“He’s friendly,” she said, smiling. I nodded, crouched down, and let the little guy walk over. Smell my hand. He looked up at me, hesitation in his eyes. “It’s okay,” I said, smiling. “I’m a dog person.” He let me stroke his head, his ears. He liked that. I asked the owner his name.
“Boise,” she said.
“Boise,” I said to my new friend. “Just like the city. That’s a nice name.” There’s something that happens when we greet one another by name. It adds a personal touch, another layer that says, “this person is safe.”…
