CURRENT EVENTS
Friday, July 10, 2020 demonstrated that there are a lot of outside (people who don’t live in Detroit) agitators trying to destroy Detroit’s comeback. Perhaps, they would have succeeded, were it not for the professionalism of the Detroit Police Force, led by what I believe is the absolute best Police Chief one could ever hope to have leading a major municipal police department with all the challenges such a position faces.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig
This guy is a role model for everyone.

WEEK’S JOKE
PHYSICAL TRAITS
One of the key benefits of meditation is stress reduction.
Give it a try by starting with one minute a day.
You can do that.
CHARACTER TRAITS
SOCIAL TRAITS
LEARNING TRAITS
The news media, university professors, etc are rewriting history. The thing about being in my 70s is that I personally experienced a number of things that those providing the misinformation are too young to have witness. Sure, eyewitness accounts vary on details, but on the big things they confirm. For instances, eye witnesses may disagree on who is at fault in a car accident, but they agree that there was a car collision.

I enjoy your statistics, humor, and outlook on life. You indeed have more experience. I respect your views; you’ve “lived” history. And sadly, some do not want to educate themselves before jumping on some bandwagons of change. I’m all about change. But I rely on some wisdom, discernment, and knowledge. I want to educate myself. And when I stop wanting to learn….well, I might as well stop everything.
