I see Biden as a wise elder.

I think modern American society's appreciation of elders may increase as a result of Joe!

The great thing is he chose relative youth in Kamala as a complement!

Eternal Vigilance

If we - or I, anyway - have learned anything from the last 4 years, it is that retaining a Democracy requires eternal vigilance.

I am learning that Germany turned from a liberal Democracy to a dictatorship under der Fuhrer in 4 YEARS! We came very, very close here - in fact, some would say, we adopted many authoritarian measures here, including genocide and concentration camps, in that period.

If we will listen to him, President Obama is telling us this.

I, for one, took our Democracy for granted. Did not realize how fragile democracy is around the world! It it not a given, and requires eternal vigilance.

I am dedicating my last years on earth to this!

Imagine what it's going to feel like watching Kamala meet with foreign leaders!!

We put down Chili Pepper this morning,

my 27 year old mare. It was time. It was sad. There is loss.

Any suggestions for books on why sadness is expressed as anger, and how to redirect that?

Any Sarah Kendzior fans here?

You know how we always say, "Oh, he will never go that far; don't take him seriously"?

And they always say "we were joking"?
