I wondered when IT would kick in. (Here I have repeatedly tried to insert a photo of Stephen King’s It – the 1980s movies version of course but my phone refused… so… I guess it’s a fan of the more recent movies. Let’s see… Yup. Huh. In any case, I’ve been going through all this […]

Nuclear war?
We live in a globalized world. What’s happening to a country on the other side of the world affects the lives of those living in countries on the opposite side of the world.
