Talking to Yourself

Talking to Yourself

In Hot Springs, Arkansas, I rested on a bench in the park on the Arlington Lawn as I snapped photos of the area doing research for a novel. A man shuffled up, wearing droopy shorts and no shirt, the sweat pouring down his back like a river. He held a tethered backpack with his fist—while muttering words under his breath. One couple hurried on, darting around him, and another woman, running for her morning outing, rushed by, unaware of his presence. He now circled inside the shade of the gazebo next to me, chattering to no one—but himself. After all, I didn’t engage with him; he was talking to himself. He muttered, “I don’t know where they are. I knew once. But now they’ve left me. I wonder if they’ll come back for me. I don’t know. I wish I did.” 10/02/2024 09:05 AM

Watch out for investment scams

Watch out for investment scams

When you invest, you’ll find that knowledge is power. The more you know about your investment choices, and who is offering them, the better prepared you’ll be to make good decisions. And this diligence can also help protect you against investment scams. 10/02/2024 09:05 AM

To be Human

“Years ago, famed anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student fully expected Mead to speak about fish-hooks, clay pots, grinding stones. But that was not the answer. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thigh bone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead went on to explain that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, crawl to the river for a drink, or hunt for food. You are a gourmet for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. So, a broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said. We are at our best when we serve others.” (credit: Ira Byock). How do I take this statement? Being human in civilization means caring for others. 10/02/2024 09:05 AM

OP-ED Texans’ right to free speech is under attack…again

OP-ED Texans’ right to free speech is under attack…again

Americans’ right to speak their minds is considered sacred, which is why we must fight to protect the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Citizens Participation Act. Both measures were carefully written with protection of the individual — the “little guy” — in mind. They’re designed to give a David a fighting chance if he finds himself in a legal duel with a Goliath. 10/02/2024 09:03 AM
