July 5 PM: Texas facing the reality of #Beryl making landfall within the next 72 hours.

The eve of Independence Day also marks the anniversary of the Union victory at #Gettysburg in 1863. So let’s sing together “The Flag of Union,” which was published multiple times in The Weekly Standard in Raleigh, NC, in the winter and spring of 1861. It is sung to the tune Dixie’s Land.

before i married, my dad would read and say 'this could be stronger...i got a little bored here...i want more of this character' but when he read and said, 'this will sell. this will be published, it's great' THAT was my first novel that sold, he was right -- pats on the head wouldn't have helped

Human beings were not intended to be subjected to unfiltered constant commentary about everything they do or don't do. Yet this is the age of uninterrupted comments as humans are called "content" and "accounts". It's good to actively ignore 99% of them especially from strangers.
