The Grocery Store
Me: Why is there plastic on the payment keypad? Cashier: to protect people from Covid. Me: but isn’t everyone touching the plastic keypad the same way they would the regular keypad?

Freedom
in this century of the overwhelming triumph of science, the appeal of the cause of human freedom is no longer that it is great and noble; it is essential. It is no greater than the cause of edible food or the cause of effective shelter. Man must have freedom or he will cease to exist…

Another Shutdown
Due to the COVID-19 increase, health officials are telling all of us to return to our semi-lockdown life. Personally, I never left it. I have been locked down for exactly eight months. And that time has been eight months of pure hell. Due to my health, I am considered high risk. I have high blood…

Counting Flowers On The Wall
For the past three months I have lived in isolation. I live alone and have had minimal contact with my neighbors, and no trips to the store or anywhere else as the world has shut down in response to the Coronavirus. Normally this would not bother me as I am a simple person who enjoys…

The Musical Association Game
I was given 12 categories and challenged to come up with a song title for each one. I love little brain teasers like this as it really stretches your mental muscles. I promise there are no repeats and I didn’t use the internet (though it was tempting). Social media is full of little games and…
