Read MoreIt wasn’t in my plan to duplicate my rewords except on Sundays, when I would focus on aspects of rest. But it was bound to happen. I published reconsider back on March 23. Then I was talking about buying ugly produce and taking care of the hungry in our own backyards. I thought at the…

There are some things that simply get under my skin. Ordering tea and hamburgers and cokes is one of them. Tea should be tea. No sugar. It’s not a choice at least to this non-Southerner. Hamburgers do not have cheese. If I want a cheeseburger, I would ask for one. And, where I come from…
