Smoking Mirrors: Up Around the Bending End.

Dog Poet Transmitting…….

I haven’t seen or heard or read any news in 3 weeks; no idea what’s going on out there.

What ‘was’ is useful for what can be learned from the past but… nothing in the past can ever be as much of a concern as what is contained in the present and what that implies for the future.

Here are some of the things I have learned and here are some of the things I can see in front of me…
