Then followed that beautiful season…summer…
Water.
Beaches.
Boats.
Americana.
“Picnic On The Bay” by John Falter, Number 84 in the series “Home Life in America” c. 1953
It is all so fleeting.
Carpe Diem my friends.

We’ve lost a lot and I don’t think we’re getting it back.
I no longer feel free in America. There is an underlying anxiety from the constant demonizing and threats and coercion.
I agree with Mark Levin who said that we aren’t falling down the hole, we have already fallen in it and now we have to claw our way back.
I am not feeling encouraged that we will. Neither was he.
This is why wars are fought. Why live like this?
Exactly.
Everything is so weird and other worldly these days. I go about my life and nothing really seems changed. Out here in North Idaho, people are boating, getting together for picnics and dinner parties, playing baseball, going out to dinner, going to church, kids going to school, young men earning Eagle Scout badges, patriotic Fourth of July parades and fireworks, neighbor helping neighbor in need, people going to work hustling to earn a living. At that level, it is the same unchanged America we’ve always known and outwardly nothing has changed.
Yet we all have extreme anxiety for the sinister, dark forces all around us lurking just below the surface. Antifa was kept out by a citizen militia of Minutemen and our state has banned CRT in schools.
This kind of constant low level political tension, stress, unseen coercion, corruption and unfairness will take many years off of persons life. Might a well fight it out in a war.
There is an ominous undercurrent. You can have a normal like day, but deep inside you wonder how long enjoying or living as you described will last. Each moment could be your last stab at free will and it depresses people. I think, will we be doing this next year?
I wake up wondering what horrible shoe will drop today. We know we will be accused of all kinds of things because we breathe.
What makes it worse is that this regime was not elected, it was installed to take down the US and hand it to the Great Evil Reset.
You summed it up well, d.
Every day brings horrible news — the extension of the Capitol Police in DC out to the states, the use of the military to disperse the illegal horde pouring over the southern border to the red states, the nationalization of zoning laws to destroy single family home residential zoning so Section 8 housing can be built anywhere, the political imprisonment of 500 Americans for viewing the US Capitol building on January 6, the use of US Army surveillance tech by the Capitol Police to spy on Americans, the NSA spying on Tucker Carlson, Texas statehouse democrats fleeing Austin for DC to prevent efforts to restore integrity to elections, Biden giving hateful, anti-American speeches in Philadelphia to begin the 2022 and 2024 campaigns, Democrats supporting communism in the USA and failing to condemn it in Cuba. On and on and on and on it goes. Every day I too wonder what new horrible shoe will drop.
We keep ignoring all of these assaults on us and our freedom at our peril.
I always used to wonder how much people would take before they would have enough.
I have my answer and it isn’t a good one for our future.
