ezs note: Due to a glitch - which I hope to get fixed soon - I am unable to get pics with each blog. In the meantime, I will blogging out once a day news reports as long as they remain current. I promise I will use trusted news such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Slate, and other newspapers of good repute. Uh, the Breitbart Times and other nutcases need not apply. I hope this will keep you informed.
