It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

For many years, Dad would read The Christmas Story -- Luke 2 -- from his mother's Bible, my Mamaw, which survived the Flood of '85, cataclysmic still in memory to the people in the hollers that lived through it.
"And it came to pass in those days..."

Mom has me watching the ancient recipe'd Calabrian meatballs, stirring every ten to fifteen. The smell is absolutely heavenly, voluptuous odors of garlic and onion throughout the house.

Oren, my granddad, told my father, David, whose middle name I bear, something his elders had told him: on Christmas Eve, all the farm animals would shift and look East. They remembered their ancestors who watched the Little Lord Jesus born in the manger, and so lifted gaze longingly to Bethlehem.

As my husband and friends can tell you, I'm mega-intense about the end-of-year holidays. There are few things I love more than Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It's been especially important after my dad passed that all these traditions are kept on.

“Learn the rules before you break them” is as important for interaction as it is for language, art, ethics, and many other things.
Why should we have to see you if you’re not ready to be seen?

Nov 21, 1953 Alaska Railroad advertisement in the Anchorage Daily Times. The ARR made the interesting choice to claim "Dancer and Prancer are all washed up" and to instead ship via the railroad. #alaskahistory #anchoragehistory #alaska
