Wanting but not having is unpleasant business. I'll be glad when it passes (again). I've spent too much time around people lately, I think. A few weeks alone might help cool such thoughts.
re: health
My left leg hurts again. It happens a few times a year because of a car accident that I had long ago. I think it's a nerve problem (one among many) in my lower back that causes pain down one side of my body below my waist. The only thing that solves it is taking a long soak in a hot bath while drinking a glass of whiskey. I'll go buy the whiskey shortly and take my bath soon after.
re: democracy
Some people are thinking of new ways to conduct democratic conversation. That's more optimistic than my recent ponderings.

re: civil war
My recent ponderings, however, continue to find justification. Regarding militia training groups, ""This is the most significant growth we've seen in 10 to 12 years," says one. "All it's lacking is a spark. I think it's only a matter of time before you see threats and violence."" Southern Poverty Law Center has a financial incentive (donations) to encourage fearful discussions, so their opinion should be taken with that small caveat in mind.

p.s. (3:08pm) Crown & Royal whiskey is expensive. Thankfully, Mr. Bubble is not. Leg is feeling better. Now to lay down flat for a while to make sure the cure "sticks".
