  • Electric Car Killed

    Electric Car Killed

    By Andrea Menzies

    There is a famous documentary called “Who Killed The Electric Car?” available on IMBD here: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0489037/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk plus is for sale on Amazon. I had to write many papers on this documentary in extension certificates classes at University. I made A grades on the paper, and in the classes. The famous documentary makes the point that the conflicts and wars generated by fossil fuel profits are not a natural condition. Governments and corporations are intentionally destroying alternative transportation to fossil fuel using cars and trucks. It is not natural and inevitable like the sunrise or ocean tide it is a man made problem that is causing wars, abuse of women, car wrecks, and pollution as a start to the problems. How many women who were going home from work were desperate for a car ride home in the rain, and got far more than they bargained for when they had to be alone with a violent man? When massive profit is only in fossil fuel rich areas violence will follow.

  • Gun No-No

    Gun No-No

    By Andrea Menzies

    I have not gone out in Virginia in years and drive to Maryland because downtown is a giant gun No-No. Local news just said they had ANOTHER mass shooting. I have no boyfriend, or husband, and have not even had a kiss on the cheek in years. When I tried the singles nights in Virginia not only was the music horrible, but a hail of gunfire made everyone hit the ground hiding every two nights. This did NOT happen when I went out in Texas and Louisiana. My social life was constantly better in both states. Virginia really is a bad place to live in horrible ways. Lifting gun restrictions as the American economy goes to crap was a really bad idea.

  • Car Broken

    Car Broken

    By Andrea Menzies

    I cannot make it to see video-game, University student, and concert friends this weekend. Just as my life was taking a better turn with friends my car broke down. I live in an area with NO bus service for many miles, so I am unable to get to work as a teacher as well as weekend friend meet-up groups. I am looking at Google maps to find bike routes to nearby stores. It is a really good thing I have taken up bike riding as a hobby at this point as it is emergency back up transportation as well as a fitness gimmick.

  • Travel Thanks

    Travel Thanks

    By Andrea Menzies

    Many thanks to my video game meet up group, student groups, and music friends I met for travel in Maryland this month. I play many MMO games with online chat including World of Warcraft, Adventure Quest, and Guild Wars. I am attending night school, and need extra homework books. In addition I go to concerts with online travel groups. I did each in Maryland, and used my many camping tents, lights, and batteries to save cash on hotels. The weather was too bad for travel for a while, but the ice melted a bit so I was still able to go at the end of the month. After every place in Virginia was horrifying and abusive to me I was very glad to find some better places to socialize with on weekends. In addition I have been going to many online night school classes, and the University campus libraries are far superior in Maryland which is how I made all A grades at Universities in 2025.

  • Not Perfect

    Not Perfect

    By Andrea M.

    It is okay not to be a perfect person, and to try to live again. I may have had problems in the past, but I made all A grades in my accredited night school master’s degree program in 2025 so that counts for something.
