4th of July 2020 | what to celebrate

This year in the USofA our nation lies scattered and fragmented. We lead the world in pandemic infections [2,860,152 confirmed] and deaths [131,797 dead]. We are protesting in the streets for black lives matter, LGBTQ equality, women's rights, defund police, armed brutality, Donald Trump.

This fool on The Hill who is on Mount Rushmore today to celebrate Independence Day festivities with a rally for 7,500 people. With a flyover and the first fireworks display at the monument since 2009, when they were banned for their risk of igniting wildfires and damage to public health.

Way to go Donald. America is no longer a world leader under Trump. It is a failed nation airing its soiled underwear. There will be no happy celebration this Fourth of July. 

Our only hope to turn things around is to vote! Vote! VOTE! for someone else. 

Memorial Day weekend

In the US wonder |wander | world celebrates Memorial Day this weekend with inclement weather and storm alerts.

This year we cannot help but draw parallels between the bad weather and the turbulence of our times. All over the world it seems like things are blowing up and we have lost our grip on major fronts.

Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May. On this day we honor the men and women who died while serving in the country's armed forces.

Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War, this became an official federal holiday in 1971.

Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades.

Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.

Stormy as this weekend may be we encourage all to carve out some peace for ourselves and share some loves as we hold our feasts and festivities with loved ones and strangers around the world.

This Memorial Day 2017, build good and long lasting memories we can all be proud of!
