Presidential Election Revelation
As mentioned on numerous occasions, I am as non-partisan as it gets. Don’t care what party the candidate represents, only care that they are qualified and can make their case as a public servant.

I was a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout. A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. Still remember the oath I took… My sister was a Brownie, but, not a Girl Scout. Just didn’t embrace scouting the way me and my guy friends did. This was […]

LGBTQIA… W-X, Y and Z
I got this question for Ask BA: Hey BA: What does LGBTQIA mean? I heard it on the Emmy’s and thought, “What’s the I-A for? AND, is it offensive to wonder when that acronym will stop growing? This is a tough one because someone is bound to be offended. BUT, this is why we’re in […]

I recently had an unsettling experience with the United States Postal Service (USPS) that reminded me of several previous unsettling experiences with the United States Postal Service. I thought it critical to bring my professio...
