JUST SAYIN'
This is copied and pasted with permission from facebook poster Janice Page, Aug 1 2026. I don't think it could be said any better than this:
I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same.
I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.
You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
• If a man pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

A lil-bit-o-fun with music & a story that reminded me of a story I taught years ago to my Level 3 readers & a song to go with it
And from FB: 80s Music Fan
There was an art to making a mixtape off the radio.
You heard the first few notes of the song you wanted and immediately lunged for RECORD.
Perfect timing.
No static.
Nobody walked into the room talking.
You were actually going to get the whole song this time.
Then the DJ decided he had something important to say.
"And coming up later tonight..."
GET OFF THE SONG.
There was no downloading a clean copy five seconds later. If you wanted that song on your tape, you waited until the station played it again and hoped the DJ showed a little restraint next time.
Eventually you had a cassette full of your favorite songs, complete with missing intros, chopped-off endings and the occasional DJ voice permanently baked into the recording.
It wasn't exactly studio quality.
But that tape went everywhere with you.
