By John Roberts, Sedona Resident(May 11, 2021)It’s amazing that opposition for a coronavirous cure advice from world recognized experts like these two doctors even exists in America where such a strong high level of enlightening education is present. It brings back the days of the popular snake oil cures for illnesses.It is present because the gullibility of the lemming crowd who believe every single lying remark Trump offers.

By Ted Grussing… early Saturday morning as we were just beginning to move up the west shore of Lake Pleasant, a great egret took to flight … droplets of water trailed behind her and just as her reflection was in the water, the reflections of the rippling water danced across her wings.

Since I was little, I would make a game out of it, trying to guess what that person did for a living; whether they were leading a full life or not, were they happy or sad, strong or weak, extrovert or introvert, etc.I would go to a park or beach, find a bench and just observe.
