At least once a day, I run across a room yelling, “No, no, no!” Then I lunge for the remote control, the way a soldier dives for a grenade before it explodes.

Throughout my life I have been a collector of various items, and I recently became interested in finding out the psychological reasons some people collect things and others don’t.

Defunding the police to me is like saying eliminate insulin. If I was not using insulin for diabetes, I would eventually shrivel up and die. Much like this idea of defunding the police would ultimately make us feel like we were living in the wild, wild west where justice was taken into the hands of the community unless a law enforcement official was in the immediate area. Our communities would die.

Lord willing, I’ll be 76 years old as of Saturday, Dec. 30 — exactly 60 years from the day I became old enough to legally drive on Missouri highways.

Family members are hating one another like a radical Muslim hates a Jewish man or a Christian man where there is war and chaos in the streets. Lawlessness! Politicians lying as fast as they can make new laws. Same type of politicians spreading fear. It seems like the world is falling apart and our leader’s lights are on but no one is home. Someone stop and back this truck up where can you run is their place without hate, lies and politics. No war, you say if only there were a place like that.
