Hot on the heels of my declaration yesterday that I had ceased to be stirred enough by life today to write about it, today I came across this article by Ilargi of The Automatic Earth blog titled: The Untouchables of the 21st Century, which again reignited the spark inside me. I said yesterday that there was... Continue Reading →
For me, It’s Now A Wait & See Game
I have been blowing the trumpet for some time now, warning about the state of the world, politics, economics, climate and the environment.

New Blog ‘Preparations’ Has Moved
I announced a new blog last week, called 'Preparations' on Blogger. In the first post I used this image >>>>> ...but I didn't take my own advice.
