Dazed and confused in North America

We got a good share of honks but more bad fingers than usual. The vast majority are trying not to make eye contact. Are they dazed and confused or suffering from orange man induced depression?

Either way it is going to be a hard fall for us in this country. Far too many will sit back and watch the collapse and do little to help.

I know these people quite well. My own mother objected to my choice of an ‘organizing career’ – her favorite saying was, ‘You can’t beat city hall’.

How many real humans are left these days? How many true patriots (I consider myself one) are still around?

Maybe those who are lost should listen to the Moody Blues song Tuesday afternoon, ‘I’m just beginning to see…something calls to me.’

We need all the inspiration we can get.

Keep paddling as the sea levels rise.
