Memorials

I have written about the area I reside in, and how it has never truly recovered from the great depression. I can think of nowhere that truly shows such as the people that are no longer. The dates on headstones declare what a hard life many in this area endured. Some of them, so sadly, are single dates: born and died at birth. This is just a reflection of how poor this area was, and in many ways, still is; and becoming once again.
The hospital in town, has no doctor on staff. They ‘borrow ‘ one from up the highway once a week. This is actually a new problem from over the last 4-5 years.
I don’t need to elaborate a cause amongst my readers , do I?
I leave above as a reflection for y’all. I have enough to keep me melancholy for weeks.
Take care all.

It is like a different world when you step in that area. Being from Cincinnati, I see a lot of poverty and homelessness here but when traveling south where you are, I feel rich in my world back home. Believe me, I am far from rich. What is that area going to become when the government cuts off all ties to welfare and social security? That worries me. And I don’t see that being far away. Economical failure is upon us and it is going to start with the government failing to support these people who have become accustomed to it. What will they do? Who’s door will they be busting into to feed themselves and their families? It’s a scary thought to ponder.
Aside from this terrible picture, I do want to take a moment to reflect on those who have given their time, lives, and duty to protect our nation. Unfortunately, I don’t believe this is what they were fighting for. Our nation has changed and if we could just go back to taking care of us as a nation and letting the rest of the world fend for them selves, I believe we would have a more fair chance of surviving this torment we are walking into. But to those who fought to keep us free, Thank You. It’s unfortunate that the government who makes us believe they are protecting us are actually the ones who are destroying us.

WINGS OF CHANGE

What happens when a wounded veteran, a computer genius, and a handful of fiercely independent misfits decide that the best way to change the world is to stop waiting for someone else to do it?

G has spent years flying from a wheelchair, learning to make the sky obey him even when his body won’t. T is a computer wizard with a mysterious past, an enormous extended family, and a talent for turning impossible ideas into working machines.

Together, they build things that shouldn’t exist.

Aircraft that push the limits of what remote flight can do. Technology born in garages and workshops instead of corporate boardrooms. And a community of people who have decided that family isn’t necessarily something you’re born into.

But building extraordinary machines attracts attention.

Soon G, T, and their growing family find themselves caught between government agencies, competing agendas, and people who would very much like to know exactly what they’re capable of. What began as tinkering and experimentation is becoming something far more consequential.

Because when you build something powerful enough to change the rules, eventually somebody comes looking for the keys.
