Jamie and Chuck
Jamie is thirteen and self taught in ventriloquism. His grandmother bought him a puppet during the first lockdown and he started watching you tube videos to teach himself the craft of ventriloquism. Yes, Jamie is a cutie and his puppet Chuck has a bit of an attitude. He is sassy. I hope that Darci Lynne and Jeff Dunham are watching this little guy as a possible opening act. It would be funny to see all of Dari’s and Jeff’s puppets appear with Jamie's puppet to help him win.

The Rockies wild ride to the world series
The game that propelled the Colorado Rockies into the playoffs and ultimately the world series. But before that they had an uphill struggle to compete against. Their record had them twenty-one games out of play off contention with twenty-one games left to play. In other words they couldn't lose a single game for the rest of the season.

When Sanctions aren't Enough
I am tired of hearing about how the poor Ukrainian citizens are suffering with Putin's invasion. Enough of the bullshit, Mr. President. Inherit a spine and grow a pair of balls, act now to save these citizens. This should not be happening period and in delaying military action you are prolonging the suffering of the Ukrainian people. We had a similar situation in the 1940's called Hitler. We should not be waiting for concentration camps to be reopened and people slaughtered. Putin is already killing innocent people, elderly and children.

His Last ROUND!
He was covered in blood when he waived down the Sherriff Deputy. The deputy didn’t know what to think when he saw a fifteen year old boy covered in blood and in hunting gear. The boy was pale in color, like he had seen a ghost. The boy didn’t know where he was or how he got there. All he knew is he and his buddies needed help and quick.

A Pride in Country Music
It doesn't take a genius to figure out when you hear the words Pride and Country Music, you automatically think of Charley Pride. Charley was not only a great country sing, but also the first African American ever in country music. Charley grew up in Mississippi picking cotton, the son of a poor share cropper. His father listened to the Grand Ole Opry all the time. It wasn't uncommon for Charley to be singing along with Chet Atkins, Bill Monroe. The old timers of country music. Charley had a great career spanning many decades. I discovered Charley in 1974 and I have loved his music ever since. Skin color didn't matter to me.
