 Something you do not believe is not necessarily grounds for a conspiracy theory. If you don't understand something that is not automatic grounds for skepticism. You may not believe or accept what I say but I would prefer at least some polite respect.

 80 yrs old? Verifiably true. 80 lb weakling? Also verifiably true.

 Normal is over. Everyday is like starting over. Do you miss "normal?" I do.

Regime Change - Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan

 A journal first draft of the history of the Trump's first hear of his second term NY Times reporters.   The most lucid and informative Trump book I have found.

We live in an unprecedented time of shocking (to me at least) time of science denial. We are in great peril as a result. To live intelligently in our time requires an educated understanding of science. Otherwise, ignorance has free rein.

Each morning I wait for the various parts of my life to come together. This time of year it's remembering the first summer out of High School in '68. It's getting ready for another strenuous day of retirement. It's wondering about some things in Atlanta 1974. It's wondering how I need to quit drinking so many fraps at Starbucks. It's doing my morning exercise. It's wondering how to get out of this corner I've painted myself into. It's HELLO WORLD! How you doin? Time to go out and be somebody. It's not too late. May it all come together finally.

 


Working on mysteries without any clues is perplexing; working on mysteries with clues is worse when you can't put the pieces together.  I was supposed to do something today but for the life of me I can't remember what I am supposed to do.  My only clue is that I recall that I was supposed to do something today.   At least I did make the recall rather than forget completely.  Like Elvis, I'm all shook up.
