Joe, I have about given up.

My best guess is that it is time for us to hunker down. We truly are in deep carp, and yet it isn’t yet time, if you get my drift.

Considering my advanced age, it may not be enough time before I am too old and feeble to do anything but teach the younguns how to grow edibles, can, etc.

But, my heart weeps. And none of the people in DC have a clue, so the country is lost, alas.

You can read this exact same doom and gloom outlooks from every older generation since the 20's.....Novels, diaries, old newspapers, etc....all have the same doom and gloom tone from time to time....

I get your drift. The wife and I were talking about this today.
