MONDAY MUSINGS: RIDGES, RIDGES EVERYWHERE

As our southern Ireland tour group was  exposed to many of nature's ridges, my time readjustment being home included a new Netflix release called Rebel's Ridge. A ridge in a different setting / would this situation be similar across the big pond with a different population.


Powerful and brilliant in the racial tension and destruction of a determined black cyclist's plan to post bail for his cousin and for them to restart new lives... 

 It escalates into much, much more after an unnecessary police stop and charge, absconding all his bail and business money. (Let's talk after you watch it...Police brutality, etc...)

Now, I am not just physically recharging, my emotions are going caddy wonkers too. 

 It made me think few minorities were present in southern Ireland's smaller towns. A white Irish population definitely reigns and I have never seen so many natural redheads. It made me wonder if the dark-haired kids or the redheads rule their playgrounds.  AND if there are darker-skinned children, do they get chastised more frequently in their classrooms? 

Ridges exist all over, don't they?  

Kids are just kids. But kids no matter where they live, learn from adults to model appropriate behavior. The protagonist in Rebel's Ridge had been taught well. 

Do you have the privilege to be so lucky to not have to worry about it?
