Gun Manufacturers Voluntarily Stop Production!

April Fools!

But, really, it’s no joke – here in the U.S. we hardly manufacture anything any more.  But we still make guns and bullets.  If you’re concerned about gun violence in our country, in your town, then please check out the website of my friends, Sue Hilderbrand and Dan Carter, and make a contribution to their production of the documentary, One Nation Under the Gun.
Here’s a link to their website:  http://www.nationunderthegun.com

Here’s a link to their film “trailer”: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nationunderthegun/one-nation-under-the-gun-a-documentary-film

These photos below were taken, by me, at the local Chico Gun Shows of 2013 and 2016.

Pancakes for Peace Poem

 PANCAKES for PEACE

_MG_5762 “Flippers” and

“flitters,”

butter and

eggs,

real maple syrup,

and coffee with cream.

Pancakes for Peace?

Maybe next year,

(why not dream big?)

when we gather again,

we’ll have pancakes and peace

with nothing to fear,

nothing to dread –

"Flitter" Andy Holcombe

no wars, no foes –

just peace

and justice for all.

‘Till then

I’ll hold in my head

a morning’s vision

of plum blossoms,

pear blossoms,

Egg Hunt

Egg Hunt

cute kids with baskets

hunting for eggs.

A gentle,

peaceful,

Easter day scene.

 And, oh, those pancakes –

Pancakes for Peace, March 27th, 8:00am - 1:00pm @ CARD Center
