FRONT YARD LADY FRIENDS BEFORE THE SMOKE

September 15, 2020 by

A big reveal from the forest fires in Oregon is understanding the front yard. With a little help, all of the beauty of shrubbery would burn.

MINDHUNTER + TALKING TO STRANGERS = YIKES

March 17, 2020 by

I started watching Mindhunter halfway through reading Malcolm Gladwell’s recent book, Talking To Strangers. It’s a strange combination ranging from creepy to creepier.

RESPECT WOMEN IF YOU RESPECT YOURSELF

December 13, 2016 by

April 1, 2016 by

Even in 2016 women’s health is a hot button topic? 1973, the year of de-criminalized marijuana and Roe v Wade. What could go wrong?
