At least thank you for still looking and for this report ... even if disappointing. Let's hope that as warm weather gradually returns this coming Spring ... things will improve. Remember, "Hope Springs Eternal!"

It has happened, and will happen again. Seek, and ye shall find.

Well, still very little (nothing, truth be told) to report.

Except .. ..

.. for the second morning in a row, I met the luscious Liz out with her dog! We progressed to exchanging a few pleasantries today, and it crossed my mind at one point "I've seen your "

Anyway .. a very nice lady, though dog is a Sheltie, and a nippy, yappy one at that. My girl was not a happy pupper!

Seems to have been a very slow summer: well, maybe with later sunrises, you'll get a back-lit peek.

Sadly, there has been literally nothing to report over the summer!

Extremely disappointing I must say, but what can you do?

You can keep a tight fist on it remembering when there WAS something to report and an eye open for the next time 'history repeats it's self.

It truly hurts me to watch and accept the fact that MY country is choosing it's leaders and the seat of government has to 'FORTIFY' in the truest sense of the word. Yesterday was spent raising and installing TRUE barrier fencing walls around the White House, the Capitol Building and many other government offices. Also many private businesses in OUR Capitol City boarded up in the same manner as with great storming warnings.

This was not done spontaneously. It was done with much forethought, investment and time.

It really is not the United States of America I was brought up with, believed in to the point of taking up arms for, and proudly bringing a son, a daughter, and five grandchildren into. It seems more like an uncivilized/ignorant banana republic. But it IS the reality.
I am so sorry.

I can honestly agree with PF. We spoke tonight and discovered we are like-minded, at least regarding the state of this once-great nation. I've never been a huge follower of politics, but I tend to keep my opinions to myself. However, I've been speaking out more on the atrocities raining down upon the people around me; seeing things more objectively compared to my peers. The number of highly intelligent people, that I have known most of my life, that have been completely sucked into the delirium of the Cheeto-in-Chief and his titty baby companion. This is NOT what I wanted for my kids, nieces, nephews, and potential future grand children.

IMHO, politics isn't something I feel is (usually) an acceptable talking point on a site like this. Although, having said that, there only are the half-dozen or so of us who even post at all any more, so it's a moot point really!

And it's as worthy of discussion as my now-defunct viewing thread!!

Anyway .. .. I've struggled for years to understand how to tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats in terms of right- or left-wing. To most here in the UK, even the Democrats seem pretty far right compared to our Conservatives, but now our Left (the Labour Party as they're called) seem to be eschewing the core voters of yore and going down the same, or similar, abhorrent path in terms of social care, education and health as the party they've just ousted! Given I work in our NHS (National Health Service - free at the point of use!) that's a huge concern on a personal level.

But the nub of the matter is this; we over here saw how terribly T-Rump did last time out on a global, local and personal level. This time, there's NO hiding the level of corruption and spite in the man, plus Musk-o-vite seems to have bought his way into the very heart of your political system!! I mean, HOW did that happen? How is it allowed to continue? Why aren't the rest of the world acting NOW, before Trumph wipes the developed world out?

I'm scared in a way I've never been before - and I used to jump out of aeroplanes for a living as a younger man!!

I've said it before and several platforms:
Welcomme to the United States of the Republic of Bananas, brout to you by the Nationalsozialichtische Amerikanische Republikan Partei.

Let's try and get back to people-watching, I'm sick and tired of the bullshit.
