Remembering young son’s UFO sighting

A short while ago there was an article in the T&> concerning UFOs around the Worcester/Holden line in December 1976. A very interesting article.

If I may I would like to share a memory of a UFO in our family. In 1989 our son was 10 years old. He was in the backyard. I went into the house and when I came back out to the backyard our son was looking up at the sky. I asked him what he was looking at. He pointed to the sky and said, “spaceship.” I didn’t see anything. He said it was not a plane or helicopter. It looked different he said. He really believed he saw a UFO. My wife and I did not believe him. To this day, many years later, he still says he saw a spaceship. My wife and I were happy he was not abducted. This is an interesting family story. I think we should not be worried about UFOs. We should be more concerned about ULOs, Unidentified Landing Objects!!

Good wishes for person who returned forgotten tote

Friday, September 9 in Worcester to visit the excellent WAM [Worcester Art Museum] and have a picnic in Elm Park ended perfectly because of the kindness of a stranger. Upon arriving home to North Kingstown, R.I., I realized that my tote containing a full wallet and car key was left on the ground next to a picnic table by the children’s playground where we had watched a large group of teenage students enjoying after school interactions. I wish good Karma to the person who took the tote to the police station. Thank you.

Another variant afflicted US before COVID-19

Long before COVID-19 and all its variants became part of our daily lives, the Donald Trump Variant [DVT] struck. It wasn’t a silent killer, like COVID-19. It was a virulent and bombastic assault on our senses. By the second half of 2016, nearly half of the voting public had succumbed to its curse. We then had to endure 4 years of living hell in which the country circled the drain and was nearly swallowed up in despair. Luckily, we were rescued when enough of the voting public recovered from the DTV to change our path; for the better. Unfortunately, the DTV is lingering around the country. Not as infectious as it was originally, but still dangerous to the health of the country. Personally, I feel that most of the country has recovered so that by 2024, we can put the Donald Trump Variant in the rearview mirror – FOREVER!
