Brenda Middleton, seventeen, is missing from Horton, Kansas. She disappeared sometime after 1:00 AM on Thursday, June 13. She is thought to be in the company of an adult man, and took her clothes and other belongings with her. If you have seen her or know where she is, please let law enforcement know. Hopefully, I will be updating this post soon, to state that Brenda has been found safe.
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! Today is his birthday; he was born on this day in 1904, as Theodor Seuss Geisel. He died in 1991, after writing many books for children. Today, however; appears to be a perfect day to share something he wrote for adults. In 1974, Dr. Seuss submitted a paraphrased version of Marvin Mooney Will You Please Go? to the Washington Post, in reference to then president Richard Nixon. Several weeks later, Richard Nixon resigned. Can anyone think of another corrupt White House occupant who should heed this message?
"Richard M. Nixon will you please go now!

Valleys of Neptune, by Jimi Hendrix, was recorded in 1969, yet not released until after Hendrix's death. The song seems to have been written for all of us.
Lord, I feel the ocean swaying me
Washing away all my pain
See where I used to be wounded
Remember the scar?
Now you can't see a thing
And I don't feel no pain, no, no
Singing about the Valleys of Sunrise
Green and blue canyons, too
Singing about Atlantis love songs
The Valleys of Neptune are rising, rising, rising.
Mercury liquid, emerald's shining
Now showing me where I came from, baby
Honey sun, turquoise bed he lays in
On the burning edge horizon
I'm sailing on a bluebird's mission
Bubbles and curls and tiptoes in the foam
See the wind make love to all the ocean
Tidal waves spread, and the message got home
And the message got home.
Singing about the Valley of Sunsets...
Purple and gold... the Armies of the Lord
Before ancient Egypt, there were moon trips...
The Valleys of Neptune is arising -
Look out east coast, but you're going to have a neighbor
A rebirth land, home of the praying hands
We know there were kinds, so much older
And they shall rise, and tell us much more the truth of man
I see visions of sleeping peaks erupting
Releasing all hell that will shake the Earth from end to end
And this isn't bad news, good news, or any news
It's just the truth, better save your souls while you can
Singing about the New Valleys
Of the Sunrise... Rainbow clean
The world is gonna be...
Singing about getting ready for the new tide...
The Valleys of Neptune is arising.
