HISTORY BEGINNER: COMMON BASICS FROM UNCOMMON BLOGGER

Long stories blur into each other the more they’re told. Eventually a common thread emerges. I’m a history beginner, you’re a history beginner, we all be history beginners.

The books call it WWII and Korea; the dads went with bad intentions. Their applied gun violence saved the world from a Nazi future. Along with the horrific acts […]

MOTORCYCLE HOODLUM GRANDPA, EARLY WWII ANGEL

One enchanted evening the man on the hog met a woman at a USO dance. He saw her across a crowded room. They married just before he shipped out to the Pacific Theater of Operations, PTO. Score for a motorcycle hoodlum, but he was the least motorcycle hoodlum on the road. He […]
