I feel the need for some kind of proclamation. An announcement. Or, perhaps, a rebuke of some sort.

It has been a while since I have stirred things up.

Used to be that I loved sticking my hand in the beehive and giving it a good jostling…you know….just to see what would happen.

It appears, though, that others have taken up that banner. Covid-19. The economy. The wearing of masks, not wearing masks. Protesting stay at home orders. Flocking to the beaches, water parks, restaurants, bars, where ever.

Lots of thoughts. Lots of opinions flying here and there, Hither, and yon. Some thoughtful, some purely nasty.

It’s all a mess.

That’s where being a Dude makes things easy. Y’all are entitled to you opinions and such up until the point in time where you hurt someone. That is no bueno. Why do you feel the need for all the name calling, fat-shaming, slut-shaming?

We all have ugliness we need to live with. Why toss manure on others?

It isn’t a good look on any of us.
