    I'm not in Texas, although I've been to every corner of their great state.


    I know a great little dinner spot in Van Horn,TX; I damn sure do.

    Oh wait.

    Yeah.... that's right

    I'm from Texas.

    .... and you're from Texas too! (howdy neighbor.)

    Like most everyone else, I've been a lil' preoccupied with other...... events.

    Hopefully, there will be brighter days ahead.

    Same. My initial feeling was it's all about perspective...find the positive. Now? I immediately wake up and check the news reports to see what else... :( sad times

    Always ask yourself: " Compared To What ?? "

    Poland in the late 30's ?

    Nanking China in 1937 - 38 ?

    The Ukraine in 1932-33 ?

    Manila 1945 ?


    ..... the list goes on and on.

    My parents were children in wartime Britain and it had a profound effect on them. When my mum was terminally ill she regressed to the war period. My friend's dad was Croatian and she said he did the same thing when he was dying.

    So when I start losing my marbles, I guess I'll regress to 2020.

    Thanks for reminding us of this stuff. I mean that in a good way - you are positive and sound minded.

    Gives me hope that we will figure stuff out? And be 'ok'?

    It's just so different.

    Right now I'm scared about what the future taxation, unemployment, civil unrest situations may be - its disheartening to me - and scary.
