Air conditioning is critical in summer, especially if you are a natural redhead or live in the US on the East Coast. Don't mess with a Southerner's A/C unless you've got a death wish.

Pic is a Windmill air conditioner, one of the best you can get since you can control it through an app; it's not cheap but it's well worth it.

There's been a lot of attempt to move the goalposts on sexual consent, especially with respect to women who are 18-24. Yet minors are competent to choose puberty blockers and the same age group can vote, drive cars and join the military?

Stock pic of a heart with hands. Also a guest appearance from my cat.

A topic I haven't dealt with but actually is relevant to my life story.

This stock pic is my take on drinking, having had an alcoholic father who wasn't a fun, silly, happy drunk.

Thinking about how to describe culture then, "ho chic" came to mind for me.

The pic is of me in the 2000s. I was definitely NOT ho chic but also wasn't a prude since I continue to rebel heavily from that.

In the age of authenticity, why am I still being told to be ashamed of who I am and beg for the approval of others like a dog? I feel like this has been my penultimate limiting belief that's affected my money flow.

The pic is of a waterfall in a park I passed by in downtown Oklahoma City when I went to a business convention last year that isn't directly related to what I actually do. The trip itself was memorable but a long haul.

It's official; I'm unemployed. Now comes the hunt for doing what I want to do on a permanent basis where I can pay bills and not feel disrespected, underutilized or unappreciated.

This pic is from a trip to the Museum of American Finance back when you could visit in person. I just learned it's all virtual now.

Some words on the student loan debate and why you don't leave smart kids out in the cold.

This is a pic from the top of the bell tower at my college, where I got to hit the bell to commemorate 20 years since I graduated from there.

A gripe I've had forever that just popped up. Basically, learn some Psych 101 if you want to get people to do the "right" thing when it's not fun or something people want to do.

This pic is a prime example of what happens when you make things inconvenient like not having enough cart return spots or not keeping them clear of shopping carts.
