Not the Apocalypse, Part 3

Posted on July 30, 2015 by ehurst

Not the Apocalypse, Part 1

Psalm 60

Posted on July 25, 2015 by ehurst

Riding for Justice

Posted on July 25, 2015 by ehurst

Today’s journey wasn’t remarkable in terms of touring the countryside. With only one minor variation, it was the new Harrah Loop counterclockwise. The single variation was, after passing the SDA Academy and retirement village on NE 63rd, I turned north … Continue reading →

Open Letter to Yes Communities Management

Posted on July 24, 2015 by ehurst

I publish this letter here because I know there’s not a snowball’s chance in Hell you would ever listen, anyway. Conversation is pointless because you’ll just lie, same as always. What follows is not based on formal surveys and polling, … Continue reading →
