Occupy LA – Another Glimpse
Looking around the harmonious give and take and sharing of resources at Occupy LA, though, I wondered, “Is anarchy possible? How long can it last?”
The Rapture
I happened to have the day off for the rapture. I enjoyed an English Muffin and a cup of coffee wondering what events might unfold during the day. I decided not to wait on my husband to enjoy this last and final day off so I left before he awoke. I’ve been spring cleaning and…
