Something’s not right!

What’s Goin’ On??

Have you ever thought that something has gone terribly wrong…but you can’t quite put your finger on it?

Have you ever wondered how an entire generation has come to think genders are “fluid” and the previous generation is encouraging that thinking?

Have you ever wondered why the “Leaders” in the education industry refer to parents (regardless of which ethnicity or race they are) as racists when they only want a decent education for their children?

Have you ever figured out why so many businesses can’t find people to work?

Have you ever wondered why a “barista”, working 40 hours per week pouring coffee, earns more income and benefits than a small farmer working over 70 per week?

Have you ever wondered why the learning levels of our school children are going down, yet many schools have stopped giving homework – because it’s not “equitable”?

Many colleges are no longer requiring SAT or other learning proficiency scores for admission.  Why?

Have ever wondered how electric power is generated?

Have you ever thought what is going to happen to all the electric car batteries 10 or so years from now?

Have you ever wondered why so many people have stopped wondering? Who would have thought!

The Impeachment Antidote!

I can’t take it anymore!

Turn on the t.v and it’s there. Click on the car radio…it’s there. Glance at a newspaper when picking up a cup of coffee…gotcha! Is there no relief from everything Ukraining on my parade?

The “leaders” of our country seem bent on arguing, posturing, riling everyone up, fabricating and just being nasty. Many, if not most, of them have never done an honest day’s work in their life. Yet, they create one “crisis” after another and try to pit one American against another. Their world is not the real world.

To find a world where civility, integrity, hard and honest work and common sense are, well, common, all I have to do is take the short ride up to our home building site here in Staunton, VA.

Construction may be the great equalizer. You can either do it or you can’t. It makes no difference if you are young or older, big or small, male or female. Where you are from or what you look like is of no importance. If you can do the work or learn, that’s all that matters.

If you’re like me and can’t take the daily bombardment of crazy anymore, come along for a peak into the real world…the building of our home.

This ain’t DC, lots of teamwork here! Kyle, David and Buck getting it done.
Teamwork making progress
Windows going in…and look what’s on the roof!
The roofing crew in action…men and women!
All that hammering upstairs doesn’t slow down Buck, Kyle and David from working on the living room ceiling!

Now, don’t you feel better? I do! Turn off the t.v. and radio. Watch some real work getting done, meet and talk to your neighbors and see how nice this world really is!
