About Me

Live in an orchard outside a small town in eastern Washington but have lived in just about every region of the U.S. Have spent the last few years trying to figure out what happened to our country. Spend every Wednesday evening vigiling for Peace, although this is not a popular idea in the area where I live!

Support War Resister Lt Ehren Watada
