Friday Progressive Journal
Friday, Sept 23, 2022 - I will attempt to begin it each day rather early, and publish the first section, but without sending it out to anyone, so that it will be available here on this site for you to
Morning has broken (apologies to Cat Stevens) on a slight format change at this point.
To satisfy the needs of some readers, the days here will begin with this progressive journal. Not “progressive” in a pejorative, redefining, winner-loser, political way, but in the way of a “progressive dinner,” way where everybody wins, everybody eats, and everybody visits.
I will attempt to begin it each day rather early, and publish the first section, but without sending it out to anyone, so that it will be available here in this site for you to visit whenever you wish.
During other parts of the day I will add to today’s entry and publish, so that a visit at 2pm may be substantially different and fuller than a visit at 10am.
During the day I may be fortunate enough to publish a story in Medium, and I will make that announcement here with some contextual lines and a link to it.
Hopefully this will give my subscribers a more robust experience of the journalistic iceberg some of them seek. It will also give us another box to check in the “reason for unsubscribing” area.
Some of the announcements of new stories will also be sent to subscribers directly, but this area is real-time big-time here at my Substack Note.
OK, it did happen and now at 9am, this story was published on Medium.

This link is what is called a “friend link,” because, after all, you are my friends, and I don’t want you to think I’m just trying to scoop up a fee. You get three free reads a month anyway, but I hope to keep you busier than that.
I do encourage you to think about joining Medium sometime because of the thousands of writers and stories you can find there!
Here is my link, so if you go through here, I will get a little bit of money.

It is now high noon.
We have just now published this week’s Struggle Bus… and here is the free friend link.
I hope you enjoy reading it.
