By Ramona

Essays from the cultural hinterlands. I'm in the boonies but I have Internet and a working BS meter. I write about my life, my loves, my losses, but when the country is on the skids I'll be trying to get it back on track.

Beautiful, thoughtful writing (100% BS free). You'll want to hear what Ramona--the Constant Commoner--has to say.
