Traffic Stop by StoryCorps

The following is a direct quote from the YouTube site. This is such a sad story.

"Published on Jul 23, 2015 Alex Landau, an African American man, was raised by his adoptive white parents to believe that skin color didn’t matter. But when Alex was pulled over by Denver police officers one night in 2009, he lost his belief in a color-blind world—and nearly lost his life. Alex tells his mother, Patsy Hathaway, what happened that night and how it affects him to this day."

Ever hear of the French frigate Hermione

This is quite impressive. Note: The text here is a direct quote from the YouTube page.

"Published on May 24, 2015

Ever wonder where the conflict came from between the Sunnis and Shiites?

I'm a simple kind of guy, but don't you think enough time has passed for them to kiss and make up?

Whittier, Alaska a small town

Here is a quote from the YouTube page on the town "Erika Thompson teaches grade school in Whittier, Alaska, a town where most people live and work in one building, and is only accessible by a miles-long tunnel with limited hours."

Interesting way of life.

Writing class anew

This evening the next class on writing starts. I had signed up for this before the last class ended. Two of the guys had taken this class before and have caused some apprehension on my part. I don't take criticism real well and I guess this next class has a lot of that. I can sort of understand the reasoning for this, but it's still going to be tough on my part.

Wish me luck...
