Ranting Raging and Surviving the Storm

This collection of observations questions and concerns about the world in which we live written from the perspective of a closet curmudgeon confronts the storms surrounding us and responds to the tumult and the shouting accompanying them. Many of the tales have been published on the author's online blog TallandTrueTales: Hot Air Flights of Fancy and Roads Not Taken. These wry and humorous rantings will make you laugh I hope at the oft-absurd behaviours of our human species. Laughter even of the self-deprecating kind is good for us all. The more sombre ragings may provoke a moment of reflection and encourage you to determine to what extent you agree (or disagree) with my take on things. I fear for our future and that of our children because so many of us are ignoring the warning signs of potential disaster that are clearly flashing. Things happen! Whether we choose to acknowledge them or not.
