Testing out how it is looking. Trying to get rid of the “preview” look for this theme.

I’m an Army raised #GenX.

Born in an Army hospital in what was West Germany.

Spent the first 16yrs of my life moving where the Army sent our family…Germany (2x), Texas, APG Maryland, Ft Wainwright AK (best loved)….before I spent the rest of my youth in Indiana, where we retired to due family (my folks are from NW Indiana….region raised).

I had the goal to leave Indiana a year before I got there…..it did take about 15yrs, but I got out…lived in FL, AZ, WA before getting back to Oregon

Being an ArmyBrat, you learn to pay attention what is happening in the world, because it will affect you. My interest in US & world politics/events started very early.

Why would an 8th grader get a subscription to Time in ’88? And then had that for 20yrs?

Earned my BA in Political Science, minored in Women’s Studies at Purdue University. #BoilerUp #HammerDown Love my #Boilermakers

Meet my partner when I was at Purdue. Surprised I found a guy raised there that held the same core beliefs as me and a cat lover (our 2 cats looked like sisters)….and had just gotten out of the Navy a few months before.

My partner being a Persian Gulf Veteran was a nice bonus in that I needed someone that had a military connection…..I still do not understand non-military people, after all these years. And having a partner that lived it, even for a short time, helped me with dealing with non-military.

My addiction to politics, news, world events comes to me honestly and has gotten even stronger as time goes by….I’m getting more and more radical as I get older.

With the start of social media, I have found ways to express myself. This blog is just another way for me to get my thoughts out in a little more depth then on bluesky, FB (private) and twitter (barely update since Nov ’24)

Don’t really expect much traffic, this has nothing to do with making money….I actually have no idea how to do with a blog….LOL

Welcome to my ramblings.
