A long-long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I flew airplanes. In the darkness, from 30,000 feet a single porch light is invisible. Collectively 30,000 porch lights become a city of light.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only the light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.” rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr..
We have a lot of loud events planned this year leading up to the November elections. And so does the other side, of course. Loud and helpful for everyone vs. loud and nasty. We will also welcome millions of children of the nasties to the helpful side this year, as usual. The nasties are in a panic about it.“Hatreds never cease through hatred in this world; through love alone they cease. This is an eternal law.” Buddhist Dhammapada 5
Badgers win; Packers lose. Life is like that a lot, so diversify. Have several different things you’re interested in, and some of them will almost certainly be doing well.

Oh, how I wish. That would be a delight for a change. Too much yelling, finger pointing, and the crisis/epidemic of the day.

Certainly a mixed message for any pregnant woman walking by!

You can’t say “Happy” because some people are never happy and will find the tarnished spot on any silver lining.

If you have been watching Happy! on SyFy, the idea that it will be a Happy New Year sounds about right.

Hey! Believe it or not – some goob has signed himself in a like tag as Donald J Trump. People are strange and getting stranger.

Turn on your porch light in 2018.

This is my 63rd New Year and I can tell you none of them have been quiet and uneventful. Just another trip around the Sun.

It’s the War on New Year’s!
Meanwhile, the campaign to restrict the word “merry” to referencing only one day out of the year continues to be highly successful.

I’d settle for a less disastrous one.

Quiet and uneventful would work for me.

I don’t care what happens as long as I’m able to look back on the whole year! (I’m 72)

Here’s to a year with less hate and more fact based truth. Yeah, I know, but one can always hope. :)
