Make a Difference
Making a difference must start with you as an individual. Saying this does not always make it so. Consider how we make choices today. We consult the various oracles; Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, SnapChat, the web and many other pundits including family and friends. All this before we might step out and take a chance. We may make a difference by not being drawn into someone else’s value stream.

News from Milan
Alright folks, how can fog develop when it is below zero? This winter has been so strange. I remember not too many years ago having to use a humidifier in the house in the winter because it was so dry. And this year it has been quite humid. I must admit that even the dead weeds in the ditches look lovely when the hoarfrost paints them a fuzzy white. And the trees don’t look so dreadfully bare with the frost covering them. Got a little nervous Friday afternoon when the breeze was shaking the frost from the branches. It looked like it was snowing. And that makes me very unhappy.
