I am ever curious, always learning, silly, smart, and creative. I've been everything from a museum blacksmith to an archaeologist, historian, conservator, museum consultant, author, videographer, teacher of online courses. I have walked a wonderful path.

"They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue."

Congressional Democrats Are Just as Spineless as Ever
Senators like Jeanne Shaheen and Dick Durbin voted to end the shutdown. When will they learn that they can’t compromise with a party of psychopathic goons and their enablers?

“A library is in a lot of ways a kind of civic symbol, a demonstration of a community’s commitment to itself. So what does it mean if that goes away?” said one librarian in Tieton, Washington, one of the rural small towns in the U.S. where keeping its library is untenable.
