First, hello and I hope you are well.

There was once a time on this site where everyone was a community. We rarely wrote about sex. We wrote about life.

I can't complain, just observe.

Anyway, I was thinking back about May 4th and how, on that day, half a century ago... four young college students were killed at Kent State.

What the fuck was that?

Then a harder<b> lesson </font></b>was ringing in my ears.

Given enough time... people forget.

They forget names. They forget dates. They forget what got us here in the first place.

I'm not a political person.

But when politics coincide with lifestyle -- I take a moment.

THIS, however, is not about THAT. I'm mostly trying a method of not typing the word " T - O " which this website eliminates because of a really stupid subroutine that insists upon remaining. Why? Who knows. I don't care.

Cards on the table. My best male friend is a sniper for a living. He shoots people dead at distances approaching 3 kilometers. He has exploded entire bridges with frightening skill. The first man I have ever had a threesome with.

I think I'd rather kill someone at a mile-or-more away than up-close-and-personal. Been there. Done that.

May 5th, of course, was Cinco de Mayo. This is the first year in my entire life that it was completely silent.
Having lived most of my life in Chicago... there were some times when it was outrageous.

On May 6th... a whole long time ago... the Renaissance ended when Rome was sacked. Hundreds of years later, the Eiffel Tower opened for the public. Barely 20 years later, Babe Ruth hits his first home run.

I wonder if folks walking around with their smartphones even know who Babe Ruth was. Could they find the Eiffel Tower on a map? I'm not insulting you, my reader, I just wonder. A wee bit of history never hurt anyone.

May 7th, however, was the day that I lost my home.
I guess that pales in comparison against the founding of Sony Corporation or the launch of the Honda Accord or... Putin being inaugurated over 20 years ago.

But it made a real difference in my world.

A fucking virus?? Try homelessness.
