The View from the Tenderloin



The View from the Tenderloin

My hopes and fears for the coming election wax and wane with events, and I'm starting to get whiplash. Those emotions combined with the helplessness I feel because of how we are dealing with the plague is sparking an outrage that wants to come out.

I don't feel this for myself so much, I'm a few months shy of seventy, and wasn't planning on living forever. The outrage I feel is for the twenty something version of myself. This guy is expecting to have a life. A job. A family. How we are dealing with the plague is robbing him of all that. It's unconscionable, it's unfair, and that guy is pissed off big time.

So vote, vote for that guy, for yourself, and for your grand kids. Help someone else to vote. This nation needs all of you.

Hold those dear to you close

God save the Republic.
