President Trump said, the tariffs will go into effect in August, if countries such as Vietnam, China, and the UK don’t call and make a deal with the United States. He sent out letters to the countries. Hopefully, we can have a comforting amount of tariffs, so not everything goes up in price. So please for the love of God make the tariffs go away for the sake of harmony. Especially, the Chinese one because we import so much from China. I know Trump wants to bring companies back to the United States, but it is impracticable because certain things can only be made in certain countries. So, the tariffs have to go so everything won’t go so high in price that we cannot afford the things anymore. So please tariffs go away. Thank you for reading.
I have a lot of memorable vacations, such as the time my sister and I went with my step-dad and his girlfriend. We stayed in a cabin at Mt. Lemon. Back then, my stepdad played the guitar and sang Beatles songs and some original songs. It was definitely cool. I played the shaker. I must have been a teenager.
We used to play outside on the porch of the cabin, and some of the animals would come out to hear what was going on. Watching all the animals, like squirrels and raccoons, climbing trees and sitting and listening to the birds singing their songs too, was definitely a sight to see. The coolest birds that came out were the red robins. They are such beautiful birds. It was always a pleasure to see them. My dad’s girlfriend made granola, and we would drink cocoa on the porch. It was definitely memorable. Thank you for reading.

My first love was music. I have loved music ever since I was a little kid. I would listen to Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon and be in awe with the album. If you have never listened to Pink Floyd, give their music a listen to. It is amazing. This music from the 1960 and early 1970’s this is when musicians could play their instruments well. Listen to Jimi Hendrix or Led Zeppelin. Those are monsters of that time. Without the Beatles, you would not have the pop sound that you have today. This type of music was my first love because they played their instruments really well, and like I said up there. I was in awe of the music; even though the music was before my time. I still enjoyed listening to it. I wasn’t around in the 1960s, and I was too young to enjoy it in the early 1970s, but in the eighties, I could enjoy the music. I really liked the way they put the music together. In that era, there were many bands i liked, such as Jethro Tull and Moody Blues, but for me, Pink Floyd floored me with their sound. I saw them in concert and thought I had died and went to heaven. They were so good. They had a screen on top of the stage displaying all these colors. Then mechanical pigs on the side of the screen above the stage. So music was my first love, especially Pink Floyd. Thank you for reading.

I also hold my shakers dear.
My drum set.
My drum sticks.
My note book and my cell phones.
I hold all these things dear to me. Thank you for reading.



We ate a delicious salad and an In and out burger. The good with the bad. It is all about moderation. One legacy I want to leave behind is eating salads is good for you and you will probably live longer, eating salads because lettuce cleans you out. So, it is a win win situation. The burger will probably be cleaned out of my system. Plus, drinking water will get it out faster. Plus, the protein in the burger will probably be good to build muscle. So the salad is light on your system and the burger is a little heavy, but with the water and the lettuce will help it leave my system rapidly.
I also want to leave a legacy of music, playing the shaker, singing and writing lyrics. I maybe older but I am not dead. So, playing music and eating good salads is the way I live my life. I practice music every day so I can memorize my lyrics and say them without hesitation. Thank you for reading.
This was the last time it snowed in Tucson and I was mad because I was driving in the snow. We were doing Doordash. Thank heavens it was the last run.

Well what I didn’t know is that we are the third deadliest metro in the United States for pedestrians. There have been 70% of Tucson’s pedestrian deaths in the last decade, have happened in the last five years. There has been 32 fatalities in counting this year already. That is a lot.
I can’t tell you how many times I have almost hit someone in the roadway. It is scary. People cross the street without being in a crosswalk all the time. Sometimes, they don’t look and that is how they get hit by drivers.
In conclusion- pedestrian deaths have climbed rapidly in Tucson. Already, we have had 32 deaths and the year is far from over. Hopefully, people will be more cautious. I don’t know if the pandemic has something to do with it, but that is when it started getting bad. I think it is more carelessness. Memphis and Albuquerque are number 1 and 2 for the deadliest metro for pedestrians. Thank you for reading.
