I asked a couple who had a 'We Support Ukraine' sign in their yard what it meant. I mean do you put a sign up and that's it. They admitted to that being the 'long and short of it.' To think . . . America is the land of the brave. I get to thinking I need a pass out of this mess.
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!"

Understanding The Past
I opened up to an individual and attended his trial in Montana. He was accused of murdering a little girl. Some did not agree with my approach. They thought he should be denounced and reviewed my story as such. Check Reviews of 'Brand of Justice' by (ClickingHere). Read the back cover. This is where Mister Hicks shared his thoughts. As a former cop, I believe we must do what we can to avoid these incidents . . . no matter how heinous. We must live and learn.

Active Shooter
Had a long discussion with Danny, who survived Columbine. Sad story. He dropped a shoe and bent to pick it up and a bullet wheezed over his head. Saved by a shoe. Kids from that day will never forget it.

Say What?
Though I walk in the shadow of the Valley of Death I shall fear no evil. Trains on the other hand are a whole nother story.

Have to cancel the Read-n-Feed in Rice Lake tonight at six. Roads are a mess. Regrets. Have not discussed rescheduling with Maureen.

Students
Had a book signing and Amanda was really struck by the issues my stories brought up. One story in particular hit her hard. She took it upon herself to design and slip these bookmarkers in books in the Student Union. I love the creativity and appreciate this effort on my behalf.

James Dean and Sammy Hagar
Sammy couldn't go 55 and neither could Jim. Guess which one learned a fatal lesson here.
