LRPSP Changes For The New Year
I’ve been impressed to make a few changes to my blog site for the new year. If you’ve been a regular reader of my blog you’ve been used to controlled content, by me. That is going to change somewhat. Hopefully for the better. The first change which is effective right now is I’ve relaxed the…

Are You Marching For George Floyd?

Are You Affected by the Global Pandemic?
