I delayed my re-entry into the blogosphere because there was just too much to cover. I felt fucking overwhelmed. Where does one start when all that surrounds them seems to have gone down the shitter? Fires, Hurricanes, Pedophile candidates, and nuclear confrontations have surrounded my small spot on the rock.
And then there is Trump. Mix him into all the madness and what we have is not a world that seems to have gone insane, but a world that has definitely lost its mind. The lowest point Humanity has hit in my lifetime.
Regardless, one recurring tendency seems to have become obvious to this untrained observer. While the USA has managed to slip out of top billing among World Leadership, we have become the number one, with a bullet, the largest Banana Republic on the planet. And since the horse has already left the barn due to the self interest of the Right and their owners, there is no sense in pissing and moaning. ............
........................... Just sit back, spark up a doob or sip on a cocktail with an umbrella in it and Enjoy the Decline.
On a personal note, this past year without a job to go to everyday or worry about every day has been very interesting. I thought I would get so much more done at home. I guess I did get more done than I would slogging to a job every day, but that Honey Do list just does not seem much smaller. Had some health issues I now hope I have on the run and my wife came up with breast cancer. Thankfully we now have a plan and are dealing with that optimistic first phase of the disease. I'll tell you what, Life outside my small circle seems so petty and meaningless once Cancer entered. Yeah, my perspective has changed fer shur.
Keep it 'tween the ditches .............................................................

Welcome back, as it were. Very sorry to hear about your wife and other woes. However, you do sound optimistic. As to the state of the state...maddness lives among us.
Cancer can put things in perspective reminding us that life and our love-ones are all that really matters in the end. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer a year-and-a-half ago. She went through surgery and radiation and now has to remain on some expensive medication for the next five years, with six month checkups. It scared the hell out of me. As far as aging goes, we just have to chuck along and keep trying to convince the grim reaper that the check is in the mail and he should hold off on his foreclosure a little longer.
Nice looking plant you've got there. If you are ever up in Farmington...
Take care

jadedj - we figured out fairly soon, being pessimistic was the wrong road to use.
Ol'Buzzard - Your wife's experience seems the route my wife is headed. Good luck to both of them.

JACKIESUE - Thanks Jackie. I will lift a glass for you come happy hour.
