Second square, the last light of Autumn sunset
And so another year has begun. Another decade. The last one was insane. I wonder how bad or great the next ten years will be. I’m torn between a faint hope that things have to get better and a sickening fear that it will never get better. Ever again. That the days we remember are gone and won’t come back.
But until I see it getting worse, I’m going to pretend that it’s about to improve. Because I need hope. Don’t we all?
From the rear of the teepee, the day is ending in mid-Autumn.
There has to be hope, I agree.

None of my pingbacks show up on your site, but I always check and I get the bounce, so the link is there — but WP is pretty goofy these days. Unlike the rest of the time when it’s so simple and easy to use.

They do usually appear Marilyn after they’ve been approved but today the WordPress gremlins definitely had been causing problems. Anyhow I’ve added the link myself so all is well ☺️

Marilyn, I am with you on this one. Given the “crazier than Mel Brooks/Zucker Brothers/Marx Brothers” past 3 years, what do we anticipate….as we go where no PERSON has ever gone before?
Even crazier? There’s an unlimited ceiling now on those perilously fatal whacko bully tweets from Gen. Bone-Spurs, Cmdr 1 of the Space Force.
I’ll steal another one from perhaps our favorite film (and original source)
Att: Oval Office/CTA (Central Tweets Agency).

That was the second or third year of my teepee and it was a hopeful time. The teepee made me feel hopeful. Being in it in the winter with fire blazing and snow falling was amazing. It was the most peaceful place i ever spent time.

I hate to be a doomsayer, but I think what happened at the Baghdad Airport tonight is going to cause things to get much worse very quickly. I hope I’m wrong.

I will maintain my positive mood for as long as I can. I just need a break from the madness. But you are right. It’s going to get even more ugly. What a surprise!

Fandango, I hate to say this–but I agree with you. At least my gut does. My “newsie” gut is rarely wrong about these things. Like you, I also hope my gut and I are wrong. Bad gut! Calm down!!
