Opinion:

With all the war news focusing on the tactical, weapons, and information sphere. What is not getting reported is, in my opinion, far more important. The horrifying abduction of Ukraine children. Their forced relocation to Russia. Perhaps as many as 1 million children, are now in Russian held territories, pulled from their families, or have already been abducted to Russia. They are systematically being told that they have always been Russian, that Ukraine never existed.

After being AWOL from my latest manuscript for almost a year, I’m finally getting back into my routine and it feels great. I’m working on the sixth novel in my crime fiction (traditional mystery) series featuring a former RCMP homicide investigator. He left law enforcement and became a long haul trucker but can’t seem to avoid getting involved in murder investigations. If anybody is interested, links on my website at redonald dot com.

There really should be certain standards you have to have before running for political office. Right now you can tell there are no standards. You don't even have to have a good education. Criminals are being elected. How embarrassing for our country.

Thanks to Dan Rather and Elliot Kirschner for "A Cyclone of Crazy", referring to US GOP's current state of existence. Always a pleasure to read Dan's take on today's history-in-the-making.

#masking

To wear a mask or to not wear one is a moral decision. If you don't wear a mask because you are comfortable with YOUR risk then you are also comfortable with infecting others, causing death and lifelong injuries to people you've never met. Don't be immoral mask up.

My morning walk. For those of you wondering why I have a leash on my dog: we have 2 dogs. Sadly, if they are ever both off leash at the same time, they run off and roam the neighborhood, sometimes for days. Not a good idea where neighbors have livestock. So for their own protection, they take turns running ahead.
