Thought for the day comes from notorious yarn-spinner and Baltimore-area curmudgeon, Tom Clancy:                  "Government is good at collecting taxes, taking away our freedom and killing people. It's not good at much else."

UPDATE For You

Thanks for dropping by the old posting grounds, home for scribbling, sharing and podcasting for many, many moons. You can still find excerpts from 50 Stories: 50 Years in Radio here, but I've moved over to Substack for my most recent scribblings. Substack provides a platform for writers, creators, and "influencers" to post provocative, compelling material. The depth of talent is astounding! And I say that despite the fact TPTB permitted me to begin Brian Wilson Writes  several years ago. How long this website will remain at these coordinates, I leave to the IT Dept (Mrs. Wilson),  responsible for everything good that appeared here. For now and the foreseeable future, click the link and join the band of rabble rousers doing what we can to do what needs to be done. Thanks Brian Wilson
