Trailer Trash Court – Craven Moorhead

Published on January 22, 2018 under Motorcycle News
Life in the trailer park is always interesting. It’s a simple, yet very entertaining way of life. There isn’t much to do here but keep up with the ‘he said—she said’ drama that plays out like a reality TV program day by day. No need for cable, internet or other forms of electronic entertainment when you live in a sit-com style reality show. As elementary as it may sound, I can’t complain about the lifestyle—largely because I can’t afford to do much of anything else. I have had a few menial task jobs here and there, but as long as…

American Patriot’s Saturday, I was on my way to the Manatee County Fair keeping in mind the parade honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr would be 250 minutes to get to the fairgrounds due to traffic backups on US-301 and a standstill of traffic in downtown Palmetto. As I sat in the gridlock caused by the parade and fair traffic on Desoto and Green bridges both north and southbound as well as all main arteries I became concerned for the welfare and safety of the citizens in Manatee County. The traffic was at a standstill and not even an ambulance…

We have launched into the New Year with promises made of which many will be broken throughout the year. I personally never make New Year’s resolutions I just attempt to be the best citizen I can while being considerate of those around me. I admit, sometimes I fail, then I realize something has taken my attention away from my personal goals. Last year was a year which will go down in the annals of history as one of the most decisive we as Americans have experienced since our founding. I pray we will come together as united Americans and do…

Happy New Year

Happy New Year
Happy New Year As we enter the year 2018 several things come to mind. 241 plus years ago the United States became an official federal republic (a country which is governed by elected representatives rather than being ruled by a king, queen or self-imposed leader) on July 4, 1776. Our established nation’s motto at the time was ‘E pluribus Unum’ which in Latin translates to ‘out of many, one’ meaning 13 colonies formed into one nation. From that basic conception of a United States created with the health and welfare of all its people in mind to what we are…
