Our planet is a beautiful place, but as Yeats would say: "The world is more full of weeping than you can understand". The things you may wish to know about me can be found in my photographs. All photos copyrighted. No AI! I have more work on Flickr.

In the past arms dealers have sold weapons to both sides of a conflict. Musk is unscrupulous as they come in how he makes his money.

As a former athlete, sure she has own life to lead - on the other hand she has had too many injuries to continue competing at top levels. I pay the price for my High School injuries on a daily basis. At this point in my life for me - my current pains were not worth it. Her story may be different.

So far humans only traceable heritage to the land is use until exhausted then move on. Our current crop of the best and brightest (billionaires by our current in vogue measuring devices) have not wavered from this history.

The only thing The Donald has ever focused on is himself. He has always been a lousy business manager.
The first time he ran for president was to improve his TV ratings. Since then it's to stay out of jail.
