HOW YOU CAN HELP HURRICANE VICTIMS IN PUERTO RICO
Also here is some info about what is going on in relation to the discussion of helping Puerto Rico. It is an extremely stressful discussion and there is frustration on both sides (that either argue Puerto Rico has enough help already or that they need more help).
SAN JUAN MAYOR ASKS FOR HELP, TRUMPS RESPONSE
PRESIDENT TRUMPS RESPONSE TO PLEA FOR HELP FROM MAYOR IN PUERTO RICO
I have been recently posting a few reflections or poems on current political/crisis issues lately. I feel it is necessary right now to acknowledge specific events that are happening in the U.S. I do not feel it is appropriate to just go about my business and post my usual stuff (poems, stories, etc.) without acknowledging on my blog or other social media that this particular time is climacteric for the U.S. I feel that spreading information or contributing in this small way to the conversation is crucial right now.
I want to say thank you to all my regular readers for reading my posts and keeping up with my blog. I really appreciate the attention and time that you give to my work and my efforts.
