"The end of the world as we know it...."

trump times is marshalling in the end of civilization. i'm convinced.

along with vehicle-produced air pollution control rollbacks in CA, deVos at Educ Dept., an 11- yr. old hacking successfully into FL voting machines, a lying traitor in the WH... all week i have struggled with keeping my technology running. settings are changed by some invisible hand, resulting in me taking valuable work time to troubleshoot. i'm very resentful as I hoped to get outside with my extra time today, but have been inside rebooting and re-setting everything.

On top of it all, and to illustrate, i was at a gas station in my area on Tuesday where a nice-looking young guy who appeared to be on vacation was hung up for awhile because his debit card was stuck in the gas pump!! Help was 2 hours away. The clerk went out per owner's instruction with a pair of PLIERS! When she came back in the other clerk asked her if she got his card back. Clerk 1 said, "most of it."

at least i'm not that guy. and grateful for legal pot here!

of the world as we knew it. So many others have experienced it during this political era. There are children still kept in cages, and some permanently separated from their families. The safety regs that have been rolled back just means more sickness, injury and death. The military is being asked to risk their lives for rump's ego and bank account. Racism now is just the "other side" to an issue. More children are growing up unsupervised while parents work 2 and 3 jobs. We are looking at the new normal where Putin calls the shots and it was so easy for him.
