Here's a little spot by my house; perfect for ez turns. This sesh set off of a surprisingly fun trip around town. Street skating is a new thing to me. Why skate rough grade and less-than-ideal features, when the skatepark option exists and allows for the enjoyment of perfect everything? Well I didn't know, but now I know. The street is a test. And overcoming the nasty-natural makes the world your oyster. Skating's always fun.

Honor Thy Spreadsheet

The idea is that we, as a country, create something new to care for and by keeping it alive we'll begin to truly thrive. And that something is...The Buffalo Fund - A Collection for Funds for Tribal Distribution.  I just came up with the term "Tribal Distribution" and it doesn't necessarily mean Native Americans, it's more like a style where the benefits of bravery are shared in terms of community shelter, food, and medicine. And that is, I believe, what our country needs, is to think of everyone as part of the tribe. Imagine this whole thing as a spreadsheet with its proportions determined by modern history. The original buffalo herd in the United States was 40 million head. The number of federally recognized tribes in the United States is 600. This means that each tribe honors 66,666 buffalo and anytime someone needs shelter, food, or medicine the herd can be drawn upon.

13 Syllable Brick Layer

There is a lot to learn to be an American. History books full of stuff to never do again. We've grown so much over the past couple hundred years, Our independent spirit has shed blood, sweat, and tears. Developing industries such as transportation, Home and office construction and communication. There was always the need for mineral extraction, And lots of farms to feed the growing population. So here we are in the year two thousand twenty-two, In the midst of a pandemic way worse than the flu. Our national leaders haven't a clue what to do, Citizens watching screens hoping to see something new. At the onset of covid we tried to quarantine, And used technology to help us work as a team. Politicians seemed to be getting extremely mean. Police brutality and riots were often seen. With food chain confusion some of us learned to cook beans. Panic buying toilet paper and other such things. Sadly, the mom-and-pop shops were forced out of business. Needless to say, the economy was und...
