In sharing food today, remember it started over 400 yrs ago because of Wampanoag natives who are no longer here to celebrate with us. Enjoy food, blessings & privilege while blessing the Wampanoags' kindness. And agree that no peoples should ever be treated like they were. Gracias, provecho.

Are we doing any good? Here's an overview about how we are affecting the present calamities perpetrated by you know who: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'd rather be writing but losing your democracy kinda puts that on the back burner. One week boycott of Amazon, which lost $6B last month, starts tomorrow? No problem:

SHOW THEM WE WANT OUR DEMOCRACY! ALSO for the 28th: Take out cash for spending, espec. on the 28th, if you need to shop local or buy meds, for instance. A credit card for local/indie purchases still gives BIG Finance 3% of the purchase. We need to reduce their profits that day. CASH the 28th!

if you wanna do something about what's being done to us:

In SanAnto, Wed. learn: Why Garcias books might appeal to kids 15–25. The perfect way to enjoy his books? Is Iztac on the cover wearing a bikini or less? Is there sex in the book? What history, legend are in his books? Aztec myths will be exposed. See you there, along with 2 famous poetas. gracias

Listening to oldies, Jethtro Tull, lyrics for these dismal times: If Jesus saves, well he'd better save himself, from the gory glory seekers who use his name in Death...

Deadline next week. Task this week: cut a 5k-words story in half! I've done it before but its harder than cutting the fat off of 47's cabinet. Chop chop chop...

I hate Poison Plastic gifts! I aim for non-plastic, more fun than wasting $. Wife Carmen got corn husks n masa for 4 doz. tamales. I'm still finishing an ipe ironwood gift. A little girl wanted a gumball machine. One piece of furniture is just a sketch of a gift. So, a non-plastic feliz to U all!

I never hated anything I created, but then, I was never John Lennon: Legend has it that upon hearing the recording of "his last" song, he put his head between his knees and said, "Someone should just shoot me." [not too early]

My first time on here, hoping to create a ruckus, have a good time and maybe gather some amigos and readers. Gracias
