Paradise In Purgatory
Heat beat down on the Marakesh, raising the internal temperature of the rusted, broken hull to well over one hundred degrees. It sat adrift along the shore of an island in the south seas where it had sat for days. The Marakesh was on her last leg long before leaving port. The rusted old heap of metal, barely staying afloat, was torn along the bottom and, the hole in the side was from an attack by pirates. It was one of the last known acts of international piracy in the 20th century.

Covid-19 is finally starting to be under control, and travel restrictions are lessening every month. With any luck, by 2022, we will be back to a normal, or as close to normal as we can be, post-pandemic world. I don't know a single person that doesn't want to see that happen. As Travel restrictions eventually come to an end, it's time to think about those long-postponed travel plans.

Paris Got Hitched
Paris Whitney Hilton is a star. Why? Nobody knows. She is the epitome of the word "celebutante," somebody who's famous for being famous. There is little doubt that Paris is one of the most influential rich people to have a sex tape leaked. So the question popped into my mind, how interested in Paris In Love are people? Why would anybody want to spend the time to watch a series leading up to the big day?

The Kyle Rittenhouse Trial America Anxiously Awaits An Outcome
After watching the Kyle Rittenhouse Trial, or at least the excerpts and what I could yesterday, it’s clear that this isn’t going well for the prosecution. There are a few things about this trial that are different than previous ones. While Rittenhouse obviously shouldn't have been there, prosecutors have tried to exclude any culpability of others. He was, after all, a seventeen-year-old. Arguing his silence after the incidents was wrong, directly attacked his use of his fifth amendment rights. Attacking a defendant's use of their constitutional rights in any criminal case is not a good approach for a prosecutor.

Men Should Open Up About Men's Mental Health. Movember Is Our Month To Open Up About Our Issues.
The Movember Foundation's mission is to get people to talk about men's issues, men's health, and get rid of the stigmas of being human if you're a man. As men's health isn't discussed as much as needed, neither are men's mental health issues. Seeing too many guys leave the world before they should have was tragic, knowing there are likely more that will and it is preventable makes me want to remind people that talking is the first step.
