A Peggy Martin rose reminds me of wonder amid the chaos

Beautiful sight. Three cars lined up at Audubon Golf Clubhouse in New Orleans. The drivers are dropping off food scraps for composting. (And one car off screen.) The best part is seeing little children learning good habits for a sustainable world. Audubon accepts scraps every Thurs from 4:00-5:30.

The moment I pointed out that the Katrina flooding was caused by the federal government’s design errors in the levees, critics promptly said I was crazy. In this show––Outwitting the Manipulator––I explain how I kept my cool and prevailed.

A 6-foot plus man (Joshua Rondeno) claims a 68-yo lady with carpal tunnel (Deborah Settoon) struck him on his arm and has actually filed charges!
The man was an armed police chief! And the lady was a SLFPA-East board member.
