In 2020, I left Asheville NC and traveled for 5 years in a camper van - including 2 years in Mexico. I now live in Brownsville, TX - the Rio Grande Valley, “Little Mexico” - where I continue the project of letting Latino culture make me a better person.

This little 3’ video is really an awful lot of fun - and the backstory (in the Description section and a comment) is (I think) one of the most important teaching videos I have shot… because of the way it debunks the common notion that anger is always a bad thing. Tale of two trucks…

Donald Trump’s pastor claimed that we should live stream the execution of a human being “to demonstrate our commitment to the sanctity of human life”. How have we lost our moral compass so desperately that the president’s Chaplain is trying to convince us that black is white and up is down?

When you’re applying for the job of U.S. Senator, you should show up for the job interview. Ken Paxton showed up in London on the 4th of July to party with the British. He showed up in Dubai to party with fugitives. He’ll show up anywhere but a debate stage in Texas.

I have listened, over the last few years, to probably more political analysis than is good for me. This conversation was fresh. This guy said things about Trump and Iran, Trump and Ukraine, etc. that I’ve never heard before. I think I now understand some things I did not understand before.
