The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Ahhh, A Little Controversy Here in My Own Backyard.....

The Chesapeake (Virginia) School Board Chairwoman made a post to her Facebook page that is gathering a little press and many comments from we locals. Yes, I fess up, I did leave a comment.

Though we have our free speech rights (still), some could rightly argue that given her position in the community it was most likely a bad decision to make the post. The sentiment of the comments were overwhelmingly in favor of her right to make the post and in agreement with her post.

Let's face it folks, many in the US just don't like the Muslim religion. Period. Who was it? Bush? the religion of peace?  Sure, Bush. 

Anyway, if you have any interest, click on the above link.

How many more years are we humans going to be driven by myths and superstitions and Dark Age thinking? Folks, it's 2015! When are we going to see the light?

Oh, well.......
