Someone make it stop

Trump in the White House

The hurricanes, including Harvey (I'm in Houston)

The fires in California

Trump in the White House

Then today I heard about my friend Debbie's son. He was walking near some railroad tracks last night and was hit by a train. He was 21.

Debbie was one of the happiest, kindest, most upbeat people I've ever known and now she is crushed. It's a double tragedy.

I can't stop crying.

Yes, so many negative things in our world right now. Hurricanes, Puerto Rico, Las Vegas, fires in Cal. Just when we think we can bear no more, bam! something else comes along. Did seem to start just after Trump got elected.

I does feel like we are living through a nightmare. I hope you can find some peace or at least a diversion so that you can escape for a little while.
