(Just returned from Colorado, where the weather and the politics are more humane. Did you know there are states where they have services to support the disadvantaged, and park land is more important than drilling and mining, and nobody cares who you love and they respect individual rights? Anyway, here I am back in the blast furnace of a Texas summer wondering if the heat and the anger of my beloved backwards state will ever abate. Hope you enjoy my writing and thinking, and will subscribe and share to get some more folks over close to my soapbox. - JM)
