What happened to the do unto others thing:
Polls are now saying that just over half of our nation doesn’t believe that democracy is working. Hmmmm. Could that be because the “I want it” generation isn’t getting what they want? I think compromising for all has been lost in the conversation. And I think that more and more people don’t understand exactly what our “Considered” democracy is.
Selfishness is rising to the top of human characteristics beginning with “Selfies’ and other forms of self-aggrandization available on social media.
Wall Street always makes me nervous during the teens of July. But somehow, this year I feel they are doing it to us out of habit as opposed to predicted gloom.

There was always something noble about great newspaper Jounalists working daily in cramped newsrooms, meeting serious deadlines, and then starting all over again.

If you are thinking of joining other tourists to travel to 128-degree Death Valley, maybe you want to hold off for a year. El Nino has formed in the Pacific, but it is too early for that to have affected the current heat in the West. So, wait until later 2023, and certainly 2024 for some really hot stuff from EN. I guess people who like to complain about the heat will just travel to hot places so they can complain more. Weird.
The Answer:
Roger Conner was Baseball’s all-time home run hitter before Babe Ruth broke his record of 138. Let us remember Roger! Bonus: Alex is an artist who draws Spiderman Sunday and weekly comics. He originally drew for writer and creator Stan Lee. After Lee, he brought to life the words of Lee’s brother Larry Lieber and now writer Joe Sinnott. Extra Bonus: WMP is best known for “Vanity Fair”. His other two most popular books are “Barry Lyndon" and “Book of Snobs”.
Somehow, we seem to lose sight of those who came before, who pioneered the paths that allowed succeeding generations to exceed even greater heights.
PT Barnum would have absolutely loved people who travel to Death Valley to experience unbearable heat.
