A summer of joy is what We The People really need. Many of us feel discouraged and overwhelmed by the bitter divisions around us.

After guns, then abortion, school prayer, and a near-death of the administrative state, it’s time to give yourself a treat and consider a relationship with the Universe as it is always in motion bringing great forces together.

The Wild West was awesome, but that's not to say it was as attractive as some video games, television, and films make it out to look.
