Facebook sometimes brings sad news, and Sunday was one of those times. AJ’s Fish House, a community institution for 20 years, announced that its doors will close effective December 1. It is not only a great loss to fried fish fans in East Texas, but also to my family. […]
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Seeing family and friends on a limited basis probably made things a little quiet. Hopefully by the next year, we will have a handle on this COVID thing. […]
This spring, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed due to the worldwide pandemic combined with many social and cyber issues and crises in the US. The usual cyber dangers and threats were present, but now the pandemic increased the risk of being a victim of cyber crime. […]
