  "This memoir seems written directly from Hemp’s soul, as she beautifully shares her moving story of learning to love and trust again after loss."--Booklist  
   
  Christine Hemp's debut work of nonfiction, Wild Ride Home, is a brilliant memoir, looping themes of finding love and losing love, of going away and coming home, of the wretched course of Alzheimer's, of cancer, of lost pregnancies, of fly fishing and horsemanship, of second chances, and, ultimately, of the triumph of love and family--all told within the framework of the training of a little white horse named Buddy.  
   
  Wild Ride Home invites the reader into the close Hemp family, which believes beauty and humor outshine the most devastating circumstances. Such optimism is challenged when the author suffers a series of blows: a dangerous fiancé, her mother’s dementia, unexpected death and illness. Buddy, a feisty, unforgettable little Arabian horse with his own history to overcome, offers her a chance to look back on her own life and learn to trust again, not only others, but more importantly, herself. Hemp skillfully guides us through a memoir that is, despite devastating loss, above all, an ode to joy.

  If you voted for Donald Trump, and you thought he was joking when he said he'd be "A Dictator just for a day" - I bet you're not laughing now. Are you? 
  And when he continues to say he's "thinking" about extending his time in the White house to a third term, do you think he's Still "joking?" 
  Yes, I know the consitution says no President can serve more than two terms. The Consitution also says it's unlawful to send the National Guard and/or the Army into Cities. Ditto, allowing masked federal agents to stop, harass, and detain anyone guilty - of not looking white - Plus sendng them who knows where without due process..Likewise creating Global economic instability - which also raises Americans cost of living.(This is "America First?") This is, and will always be 'Trump first". And nothing says that better than his 200 Million dollar Roman Emperor ballroom. To be built next to, and, of course, dwarfing the white house. 
  Third Trump Term impossible? Think about it - Who builds a Billionaires Ballroom...and leaves? 
  In the last century, the Editor of the Baltimore Sun newspaper H.L. Mencken observed: "Nobody ever 
  went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people." 
  In Brother Trumps "Golden Age" it is America that is 
  "broke."

  The Most Bizarre Cult Ever - The...

  The Pythagorean Cult, founded by the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, stands as one of the most mysterious and intriguing movements in history. Emerging in the 6th century BCE, it blended religious, philosophical, and scientific ideals into a unique and complex system that shaped the intellectual landscape of ancient Greece. At the heart of the cult was the figure of Pythagoras, revered as a divine being by his followers. His teachings, rooted in the belief that numbers and mathematics governed the universe, attracted a dedicated group of adherents who sought enlightenment and understanding of the natural and spiritual world. 
  Pythagoras’s teachings extended far beyond the realms of geometry and mathematics. His philosophy emphasized harmony, proportion, and balance, both in the cosmos and within the individual. The Pythagoreans viewed numbers not only as abstract symbols but as the very essence of reality. Everything, from the movements of the stars to the music of the spheres, was thought to be governed by mathematical principles. This belief in the fundamental nature of numbers formed the cornerstone of the cult's worldview, setting them apart from other philosophical schools of thought at the time. 
  In addition to their intellectual pursuits, the Pythagoreans practiced a strict code of conduct that demanded both physical and spiritual discipline. Their lifestyle was based on a set of moral and ethical principles, which included dietary restrictions, meditation, and an unwavering commitment to silence and contemplation. This approach aimed at achieving spiritual purity, with the ultimate goal of transcending the limitations of the physical body and achieving union with the divine. Pythagoras himself was seen as both a teacher and a spiritual guide, and his followers believed he possessed an almost supernatural understanding of the world.
