Getting back in the video posting groove. Watched two doc. films - one by PBS titled Not For Ourselves Alone, The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony (Netflix Watch Now) and the second one, Earthlings (Google Video). Both very educational and ones I recommend. Earthlings is very intense, watch at your own risk.
Peace!

Traveled with my mother and sister to St. Joseph, MO and stopped by one of my favorite restaurants, Boudreaux’s. Its the best, besides actually eating creole/cajun in New Orleans. Then we visited Wes, my oldest stepson, at his college (Northwest Missouri State University). I balled like a baby saying good-bye. I miss that young man already.

Had a bit of a rant about the current treatment of veterans the day after Vet’s Day. Sometimes I think I go on about a subject like I’m Miss South Carolina. But I promised myself to have no retakes, just record and go with it. Flaws and all.
Here is a link to Truth Seekers Podcast by Dani Cutler. Like the title states, she searches for the truth in our world, in politics, religion, social issues….everything. Please stop by and check out her podcast.
Its after 10pm and I’m tired. I’ll visit a few vlogs and rest. Nite, nite for now.

I know it was really Tuesday, but when I have a Monday off from work, Tuesday always feels like a Monday. Today even was busy like a Monday. The afternoon was broken up with a team meeting. Myself and two other team mates had to give a financial planning presentation. It was our first presentation since moving into a new department/team. It went well and our recommendations were not terribly scrutinized. The first part of December we’ve been given another “project”. Yippie.
There were 5 accidents on the 101 loop and I finally got home a little after 7pm. And that was just on the southbound lanes - the way I travel to get home. Four of those five accidents were completely off the road and at least a lane’s width from cars passing. But still people had to slow down to an almost complete stop to see what was going on. The last one had the cops blocking traffic to only one lane. I hate rubbernecks and they are SO bad here in the Phoenix area.
Now I’m winding down with an interesting film on Sundance Channel called Radiant City . Its about a North American family living in a newly developed suburb community (something that we Valley residents know all so well). The main point of the film is how modern suburban communities are damaging to society by promoting isolation. Examples: we get in a car, back out of garages, drive on the freeway for an hour, park in a parking garage at work, take an elevator to our office building and work in a cubical, to then leave work, drive another hour home, pull into our garages and enter our homes with little, if any interaction with the community we live in. I tend to agree with the perspective of this film. Its sad. To me, it seems like people just want to be left alone in their carbon copy boxes. It may not be that same in all areas, but I believe it is in several. Anyway, check it out on Sundance or you can Netflix it.
After the clothes are done in the dryer, then I’ll finally get some sleep. I live such an exciting life! 
Take care and talk to you tomorrow!
