The Monarchy is a great business for Britain. Tourism. Stories galore. 2,800 diamonds in the Crown alone. Gotta love all the pomp and pageantry. I hung out with a guard in front of Buckingham Palace and got to witness a royal movement. Prince Andrew sped by in a car looking like a business man. I'd have preferred gold and fancy fabrics and such. I've never figured just what is so taxing about royal duties and walking around dressed up in goofy uniforms. I'm an American and don't get it I guess.
Ethel Rohan, author of ‘Out of Dublin’ on Curt Rude's writing. "Overall, great writing style. Reminds me of Rushdie: internal, emotionally complicated, and dualistic. Delivered with a sensitivity and awareness that is underrated. In one word his work is Awesome!"

Tip-Toe back behind a decision and you'll discover cold hard cash every time.
Then as we seen in 'One Virus One Gift' personalities morph from the pot of gold. " Bank Accounts are the true measure of a human being.

War
Lot of money to be had in making war. Sorry to see it'll be around long after I'm gone. I was honored to be with folks who take time each week to protest war. No agenda. No nothing. While hanging out with these patriots we were flipped off by the very young people who would have to fight the war and dodge bullets. I'm sporting the tan pants by the way. My advice to you is to read The Bee Killer and see if you still feel the same way about organized killing as in war.

Crazy World
Man, I've been waltzing around the world these last couple of months and have to say it's a big bad crazy world we all call home out there. Where do we start on our mission of discovery?

Inspired
Every summer I spend time looking for America. Excited about writing possibilities. Please message me with ideas. I was hanging out in Ellsworth, Maine last year and boom, 'The Rainbow Flag Allegiance' happened.

Yellowstone
So I'm in Big Sky and it's like big money settles here to play. Then when a bear steals bird feed from the feeders it's time to 'do something about it'. So who's living in who's house? Also . . . while I've been running around America I can't uncover any signs of a a recession. I mean new houses going up and huge bus style campers pulling a boat and wait, another trailer full of four wheelers. Did I mention the five thousand dollar bikes hung on the last trailer. Call the cops. I mean somethings going on here. Right?

Great Whites and Grizzles
North Atlantic Shark hits a seal off my bow to Grizzly Country up Paradise Valley. Exhilarating without a doubt. Hope this summer finds you hammering on this thing called life.

Oh C'mon Man
We can do it. Conserve. Walk to work. Ride a bike. Canoe and leave the outboard at home. Carpool. Give up golf (for just a year) and hike in State Parks. Read Noam Chompsky. Form groups to identity mechanisms of conservation. One direction complaining makes us look - oh so - entitled. While I'm at it. Airline numbers are down due to less flights which is benefiting the environment. Here's a novel idea . . . with money saved we could make donations to the people of Urkraine.

Experiance
They do it over and over. Writers who never were cops write story after story about police officers. John Sanford anyone?

And so
as I was saying . . . lawyers are paid to take up a side. Ain't about right or wrong. Its about a position. So now some are wondering about Roe being over-turned.
