A Book and a Donut

Example above is at an Arts event.

One could wail about the demise of and closing of bookstores. In the realm of the business, AKA: “brick and mortar” stores, as opposed to online stores.  In our area of a population of 500,000, there are only two stores remaining.

Addictions

Addictions are those habits and behaviors which are not good for us, in part, because they crowd out something much better. Sadly, when addicted we accept a lie for the truth.
