    I Have Been Chosen

    I’m thankful. Somewhat relieved. Guardedly happy. And hopeful that you get your COVID vaccine soon, too.

    Welcome to North Dakota, a Longstanding Covidiotacracy

    In the once-again mask mandateless state, covidiots will return to covidiocy, infection rates will resurge and more people will die unnecessarily.

    More CARES Act Funds for Oil Companies? What the Frack!

    The state’s justification is whitewash for yet another unconscionable act on behalf of an industry that lacks a conscience.

    Schools Should Report Coronavirus Cases to Communities

    We’re paying for this misguided and potentially tragic experiment. We have a right to know how it might affect us. Or not. And how it’s working. Or not.

    From getting married to getting buried, I gotchya covered, man!

    I am an introvert, which means more, and less, than you think.
    Here's a great definition from Introvert, Dear.

    IV Words Founder Martin C. Fredricks IV

    Martin C. “Red” Fredricks IV here. I’m husband to an amazing woman who is also my best friend, dad to three outstanding kids, climate crisis warrior, environmentalist, rabble-rouser, sayer of things people don't want to hear, proud introvert and big-time reader. A ginger, too - ergo the "Red" - although some of it's going white. Cinnamon-sugar, I call it. Tattooed to boot; seven so far; like 'em or not, I don't much care.
