Author note:

Aldi Food Market can help a fella stretch a dollar without sacrificing quality or taste. I grew up with one close by, and I was happy when they built one in the community I moved to.  I really can't talk them up enough!

A drive through the rain.
Music, podcasts, and coffee,
Home, but exhausted.

Appeasin' be self treason...

I know that not everyone will like my Poetry, Prose, or Politics. 

That's why I write without trying to overthink it.  

Folks who like it will like it,  those who won't won't,  but If I try to write in a way to please EVERYONE...I won't be able to enjoy what I write, and that would be absurd. As the title of this post says: Appeasin' be self treason...

To those who read me and enjoy my words even in their simplest forms: Thank you. ❤️ 

To those that read me just to be able to criticise my words: at least you've read me, and that makes you...my reader. 😘
