The pen is mightier than the sword was initially written by English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839, indicating that communication utilizing particularly the written language, or in some interpretations, administrative power or advocacy of an independent press, is a more effective tool than direct violence could ever wish to accomplish.

We may miss out on getting together in person with family and friends, traveling to cherished places, or taking part in our traditional celebrations this holiday season. When forced upon us, unfamiliar changes evoke feelings of loss and frustration.

My eight-year-old grandson has taken up chess ♟ and wants to play with me, but I know he will constantly beat me to the pulp.

Chess is a two-player game, where one player is assigned white pieces and the other black. Each player has 16 pieces to start the game: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. Aim of the game. The object of the game is to capture the other player's king.

The roaring '20s were extremely weird in many ways. This American cop is measuring the lengthbetween knee and bathing suit in a bathing beach after a local order was issued that women’s suits cannot be six inches above the knee.  

This image was captured recently and the only eyes on her could have been from admirers. Times sure have changed. What would those police officers say about this image?

If you look up in the sky, you’ll see birds and planes, but you will never see him. Who is offering a reckless disregard for the health of our nation's democracy?

Look down in the gutter, that is where you find the man of steal. Man of Steal is an interesting take on another mythos.

There are lessons, and stories not being told to help those who served in our military. We honor and salute every American who has worn the uniform of the #USA military and chose to defend our nation.

Veteran Housing Corporation is one organization which pays tribute to veterans as a tax-exempt, charitable, non-profit organization. Its primary mission is to provide long-term housing to US Military VETERANS. On this Veterans Day, it appears to be the best time to profile the holiday spirit of sharing that it provides

A Time To Go

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose, under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose, under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

Holy Guacamole

There is no doubt in this world that avocados are hard and picking a good one is sometimes difficult. They are either famously too green or overly ripe and soft in a matter of days. This image seems to see is not believing.

Getting a perfectly ripe avocado already feels like a lucky day. But when this person got a ripe avocado that had no seed, their surprise was on an entirely different level.

This is an example or the meaning of something of historical significance approaching too close for comfort to fame that went bad.

Please know that the date this image was captured was November 10, 2016. It was two days after Election Day and the day after The Associated Press *media* and not the states or the courts called the election for Trump and Pence.
