Sweden is abandoning "renewable" energy and going all in on nuclear because "renewable" isn't sustainable or reliable. Instead of wasting money on "renewable" energy that isn't really renewable when you look at the overall cost, how about building more nuclear plants that actually are the cleanest form of energy?

Just Friends

National Friends Day was July 30. I missed it. The story is still good:

Just Friends

The sixth novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

After Mindy Harper's life crashes, she cuts off her friends. What other choice does she have? She doesn't fit in anymore. Holidays commemorating friendship fail to convince her she should celebrate them. A handsome ranch hand won't change her mind.

Cowboy left most of his past behind, with no regrets. The moment he sees Mindy he knows where his future lies. Friendship is the best place to start, but what is he supposed to do when she declares they're acquaintances?

God opens closed doors to those who knock, if it's His will...

http://www.amazon.com/Just-Friends-Holiday-USA-Book-ebook/dp/B017FSC4WG/ref=sr_1_1


If you prefer paperbacks, Holiday, USA Anthology 2015

All four novellas published in 2015 are available in their entirety in paperback, including the covers on the back, for those who enjoy collecting a series.

Recently saw a study that stated that "plant-based/engineered" meat is 4-25x less planet friendly than REAL meat. And yet, those manufacturers that push their product claim to be planet friendly. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." Wait...What? God did it right the first time? Shocker. Not.

Rule #1: Stop lying, especially to yourself. Before baby became a word, the term was fetus, in Latin. Fetus = Baby It's a baby.
