I’m the face in the crowd. Liberal, progressive, silly, and often obtuse and sarcastic. Negative optimism my specialty. I’m the neighbor you’ve never met…a face-in-the-crowd.

“We must remember this a kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh. The fundamental things apply as time goes by.” It’s so easy to lose perspective in a world that pounds us with social media and chaos. Remember what makes us human. It’s not online.

A road trip to Mt. Rainier has been a wonderful reminder that beauty still exists in the world.

Usually hate commercials but there’s one out with two old people trick or treating. When asked if they’re too old, they reply that’s part of their costume. Makes me want to give it a go.

My Republican relative lured a barn cat into her car to take home as a pet. It promptly got under the brake pedal. So much for foreseeing consequences. It currently resides in her garage.

That’s FOX—a network devoted to sacrifice journalism on the altar of integrity and to spew dangerous infotainment. Better to leave out the info. Wrong or extremely biased coverage doesn’t qualify. FOX “news” —the mud wrestling of today. (I prefer Jello myself. Tastier.)

Tried to watch a movie yesterday. It was infected with ads for the Republican gubernatorial candidate. It repeated the villian-in-chief’s name over and over and accused her Democratic opponent of talking about him repeatedly. It was absolute torture and muted as fast as you can say-$:!@!

Had enough for today? I’m going outside to breathe the air before it’s so polluted it’s toxic. Also before climate change either fries or drowns us all. Seriously I’m going to stomp on reality and live in the moment. It’s all any of us really have.

There goes the price of beers and any drink in a can. (Plus a whole lot of things we’ve yet to imagine.) Nobody deserves that more than the morons that elected “our” current nightmare to office.

When someone proudly states they’re“pro life” but is against any social programs that provide care and services to people in need—particularly to the children that women are forced to have—They ARE NOT PRO LIFE. They’re groupies.

Oregon’s Voter’s Pamphlet has nothing about what the gubernatorial candidates, senators, US & state representatives platforms are. Nothing. Not that it makes a difference. I’ll never vote Republican again. I haven’t for decades.

I know a good and former rich man whose fortunes took a dive. He lived a life of privilege with 9 corvettes and 4 storage units for collectibles that are never displayed. The smallest frustration sends him reeling. He doesn’t know how to be poor.
