The newest book you’ve been waiting for
We are at a crossroads when it comes to the pros and cons of technology and even the issue of climate change. It is almost crazy the U. S. government is ignoring weather concerns as this affects farmers’ crop yields. But they “are” doing something about the pervasive nature of technology in the life of children, though many are still addicted to their phones. Well, I have some ideas as a Master naturalist member.

New Year’s Greetings!!!!
And if I could figure out how to make a bigger headline, well, then I would! (I am not great at this DIVI/Elegant Themes program.) Anyhoo, Happy New Year and hope most of us all have come up with a fun New Year’s resolution (not my always DULL one, like losing weight and selling books). I “would” like to see Badlands National Park this year, maybe visit where I grew up (Farmingdale, Long Island, New York). I haven’t been back to where I grew up in, like, 20 years! I think it’d also be neat to walk the Brooklyn Bridge, which I NEVER did when I lived on the island. I haven’t been to Fire Island since I was a kid and there were “Beatniks” gathering there.
And somehow, I managed to get a WHOPPER of a head cold! It really stinks when it is 25 degrees out and you have phlegm running down the back of your throat in the house and you really WANT to be outside, walking,exercising, doing something other than watching “Netflix” or old Elvis movies because your oldest son sent a BUNCH for xmas!
I really need some “Garlique” stuff that is advertised because it is supposed to really help your immune system, as well as elderberry and echinacea.
Of course, with this lousy weather it is also a good time to curl up with a good book. In a grab bag my book club from the local library gave me a book by Judge Judy, and “Corelli’s Mandolin” and “I Love you to Bit and Pieces,” both of which were made into movies. So, should I see the movies first, or not? What do you all think? (More below.)
This is me with newest book, Nature vs. Technology — who’s Winning?
And I sold three books at that event!
The book I have finished, “Nature vs. Technology — Who’s Winning?”, actually addresses what is going on with this unexpected weather (a climate change event). But it also addresses such things as kids on too much technology (so called smartphones and their computers), how to survive in the wilderness, should we explore space and have flying cars (?), and more. An interesting read for only 70 informative pages. (See an excerpt at https://booklocker.com/books/13621)
If still interested, the “Let’s Run OUR Schools Together” book is still available at this direct link (14.00): https://booklocker.com/books/13191.html
Get some info from a regarded source and hope you will STAY SAFE AND HAPPY IN JANUARY AND BEYOND.

My mission
Extensively, I will provide ideas and examples on managing money better, paying for an education, dealing with doctors, and good ideas or deals when it comes to travel. I will also consider science, as it relates to my book “Great American Women in Science and Environment.” Science and the future can be both a good or bad thing, depending on your consumer choices and outlook. And writers can always use tips on how and where to make money. I will do regular blogs on these issues, seeking always to inform in an entertaining manner.
