Natural Foods Mimick Football's Special Teams' Play & Vice-versa ?
My magnifying len's latest focus is on a hypothetical ' Anti-carcinogen Football Superbowl Playbook'. Research is fun and sometimes results in uncanny pursuits! As "they" say,
"Art mimicks Life". My len's focus says that sometimes, "Life Mimicks Art" or in some specialized
instances, 'Sports imitate Science.'
Is fighting cancer analogous to a game of football? This fictional hoboclown detective thinks so!
Clues in evidence suggests that the answer to this query is 'Yes'.
Are you interested in the topic ?

Hours of Business ?
Seeking "The Truth" is not as easy as it seems. Going to "The Source" is
more complicated than just buying a travel package. I clowned around and
got some Google information on business hours for "Heaven". Seems like
the "place?" is "closed on Wednesdays" and if you get there on any other
day, there is " No parking without a permit". The "travel ticket is only one way"
and all "sales are final with no reimbursements".
Certainly, my readers understand that I am only jesting. It is my quirky way of
saying, 'Merry Christmas ! '

List of Old Jim Crow Laws & Reparative Justice Issues ?
As a naturally inquisitive fictional hoboclown detective, I set out to understand a bit more about
the United States social history and today's 'Reparative Justice Movement'. More and more
americans (interested in reforming the all too recently 'torn fabric of social justice' in the United
States) have aimed their moral justice focus on "equal justice for all". Afterall, the United States is
the designated frontrunner for global human rights on the shrinking world stage. This 'State of Affairs' suggested a need to better understand some naturally God-given human rights issues ( a la the 9th Amendment to the US Constitution).
Reading the following links helped this old clown to understand a bit more,

A Primer for Reparative Justice ?
Sometimes it is hard to get authentic comments from "the horse's mouth". The following links
outlines some biographical and autobiographical quotes of a former 19th century freed USA
slave who became the first black priest in the United States. I found the book to be a good instructive read on why and how a concerted USA "reparative justice" initiative could benefit the United States and in particular " descendants of USA slaves".

A Reparative Justice Profile of Bondage & Servitude ?
Today, a bank teller told me," I see you have been a customer of this bank for 46 years."
Yesterday, I realized that I have been a Pennsylvania licensed clinician for 40 years.
Obviously, more thoughts and facts on the matter were conjured up:
I have been of service to the US government ( military & civilian) for 12 years.
I have been married & divorced after 15 years but provided caretaker service and
nurturance to the divorced spouse and children of that union for 40 years.
I have in my possession a legal copy of a deposition that outlined the government-
sanctioned redlining practices of one of my previous bank check deposit accounts
involving a home equity matter.
I have endured having no running water for the past 6 years and no home electricity
for the past 6 months due to punitive public utility policies, practices and health issues
as a senior citizen.
I have been a resident of this planet and the USA for 71 years.
I am an American Descendant of Slavery (ADOS).
To enlighten you about ADOS, I have provided the following link,
https://ados101.com/roadmap-to-reparations
There are many autobiographies similar to mine that are being disclosed
during this information age.

Mirror This ?
You look at me but you don't see
Visions, vows, oaths and me
Battles fought,
lost and won
Lessons received, imagined and taught
You look at me but you don't see
Visions, vows, oaths and me
A civilian prisoner of war
name, rank and nerves ajar
You look at me but you don't see
Visions, vows, oaths and me
They salute you who deliver
when lesser men shake and shiver
You look at me but you don't see
Visions, vows, oaths and me
Turn your gaze inward and look at yourself
as I return you to your hallowed shelf
You look at me but you don't see
Visions, vows, oaths and me
Enjoy our Veteran's Day ?
