I couldn't convince myself to buy a genuine electric vehicle. Living in Arkansas, I noticed too many drawbacks that I preferred to avoid. Adding the task of plugging in the vehicle daily isn't something I want to include in my routine. I mean, I can barely remember to plug in my phone at night! Going to a nearby charging station and waiting around 50 minutes for the vehicle to charge doesn’t interest me either.

And when I'm not doing that, you'll find me championing the big stuff – like keeping the government out of personal choices, waving the rainbow flag high, and standing up for human rights. Because freedom? That's non-negotiable."

Caring for animals is one of the most noble actions a human can undertake. I cannot express enough admiration for a loving organization that rescues them and gives them much needed medical attention and nutrition. Nova Star Rescue is located in Dover, Arkansas.

I have always had a dog. Each one brought joy to my life and holds a warm memory in my heart. For cat lovers, I acknowledge your sentiments as well.

Oh heck, for all animal lovers, you rock!
