A Dreamy Reality

-
      It had been a beautiful day at CrowMac Creek, peaceful and seventy-five degrees as Laura arrived at the cabin. Her 20 mile drive through the pines from Payson painted her with a peaceful demeanor.       
     She discussed her day, telling me that Pastor Sands had told her that I was the new Entertainment and Events writer for the CrowMac Creek Crier as he purchased gas for his Toyota.   
     I smiled and nodded. "I am also the newest photographer for the paper." It is good news. I finally will be where I want to be and do what I love. Tomorrow I begin my new life.

What if Trump Wins in 2024?

-
 2  Nov 2024 I've worried about another Trump presidency for months. Friends have tried to reassure me. "Trump won't win." But I don't feel assured. Though a great number of the old guard Republicans have turned against Trump and are spending thousands on anti-Trump commercials, seemingly with no effect. It doesn't matter than Trump is a liar. I mean half of what he says are lies and the rest isn't true. MAGAs point the finger at Biden and call him a liar, and he does spin the truth occasionally finessing his numbers, but nothing like Trump. At first I thought that Trump simply forgets what the truth is, but now I believe that he knows exactly what he is saying and what his words will do. The world witnessed him telling his followers "fight like Hell," and they did. To some, it doesn't matter that Trump childishly calls world leaders silly names. It doesn't matter that his past administration was a revolving door with members not only qui...

AZ Trail Update July 23, 2025

 So, in life, hopes and expectations don't always go the way we want, and my expectations seem to have been a little different than what I received. Amanda told me that she didn't feel comfortable spending the night outdoors in a tent. That's understandable. I grew up with parents who enjoyed camping out and when I was in my twenties and Sandy, my ex, grew up spending time in the outdoors. Amanda didn't have those experiences, so I can't blame her. Camping out can be scary. That being said, Amanda likes the hikes and has volunteered to help Jesse re-supply me. And that is very big. I am prepared. I have often camped by myself, so this is something I can live with. I have the "Far Out" App so I will know where I am on the trail, where I can find water, and decent camping areas. I have a charger to keep all of my electronics working, To back this up, I will have a good GPS unit that will verify what I am finding on the Far Out App.  As long as I get the nece...

We've Elected Trump: Now What?

-
 The election has, with the exception of the counting of some more ballots, been dispersed with nothing left but a frightening future. As a Democrat, I’ve lived through some disappointments. But I’ve never been as fearful as I am now of another Trump presidency. But this one is different than all of the others, and far more dangerous. It isn’t just Democrats and the Press who have opposed another Donald Trump victory. Many Republicans have refused to support him, especially people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Wyoming Republican Representative Liz Cheney, and many more. People in Trumps cabinet such as former Defense Secretary like Mark Esper had called him a “threat to democracy, and former Vice President Mike Pence who received death threats from those who overran the Capital who warned the electorate of what he might do. Now, those who Trump believes have not given him the support he requires are in his sights. CNN, CBS, CNN, Fox News and ...
