You are not alone

Do you feel the world is edging closer to some sort of meltdown or explosion? Think our nation has been taken over by literally crazy socialist sociopaths--people who wouldn't know how to sharpen a pencil if you took away their electric pencil sharpeners?

Well, you're not alone--a lot of folks are getting that vibe.

I sit here in a lovely home, drinking coffee and petting the Jack Russell terrier curled up in my lap, and I hope with every fiber of my being that life here in the U.S. isn't about to get worse.

But the very next thought is: Whatever happens, we'll get through it. With grace and good humor. And then we'll fix whatever caused the problems so that they don't trouble us again.

Hey, I'm just optimistic like that.
