Another opinion on Ann Barnhardt's "Why I'm Cosidering Quitting" post...
which gives us more to ponder.Yesterday I posted a link to Ann
Barnhardt's post which reflects much of what I've been thinking lately.
For me the question is whether Ann is mired in despair, a sin against
the virtue of Hope, or is she just being realistic. There is a definite
difference between facing facts and unicorn farts and rainbows,
referred to as normalcy bias. Facing facts means you tak

Scooters, Trees, and More!
Scooters delivered today! Of course, they forgot the temp plates,
so we cannot really drive them yet, but that did not stop us from test
driving them in the yard and the private streets of our little
neighborhood. They are not as easy as they look. I am great at driving
in a straight line, but turns kinda scare me. I am getting better
though. Wore helmets and did all the right safety things.
Sunday and Monday
Sunday, we were pretty lazy. I went for a run in the morning and
came back to Kurt sitting by the pool with the pugs. I went for a swim
to cool down, then decided to join Kurt on the pool chairs and we both

find any trees/plants at any nurseries. Found a nurse

Nuclear scientist with expert knowledge, Steven Star: "It is frightening
that President Obama and his administration appear unaware that the
world’s leading scientists have for years predicted that a nuclear war
fought with the US and/or Russian strategic nuclear arsenal means the
end of human history. Do they not know of the existential threat these
arsenals pose to the human race . . . or do they choose to remain silent
because this fact doesn’t fit into their official narratives? We hear
only about terrorist threats that could destroy a city with an atomic
bomb, while the threat of human extinction from nuclear war is never
mentioned – even when the US and Russia are each running huge nuclear
war games in preparation for a US-Russian war."

There is a mystery about the media coverage of the Newark

was only 2 per cent. That is an almost unprecedentedly poor
