A Take On Things I Think.
My Top Ten. 1. I have no idea what to do about school shootings. Thursday’s incident near Los Angeles was this year’s 30th.

Short Takes For The Beginning Of October.
P.R. The Dow. Transportation Security Administration. The Great Things About The Fall. Dateline Paso Robles, California. I really like Puerto Rico.
