Starts? … I think Google has been sharing our data behind our backs like a school girl that promised to keep a secret

Bingo! … that is why Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol as a series of ghosts that visit Scrooge … it was a tradition of story telling of retelling scary ghost stories during the longest day of the year … the moment in the year known in pagan religion as the moment in the year when the dark forces are at their strongest and highest … the winter solstice, the longest night of the year when the darkness is at its strongest … but also a moment of hope, as the light has started to return and the days grow longer.

I do spend a lot of money on Halloween … more than Christmas … but it also means I don’t go crazy either. Almost all the money I spend just goes to candies, chocolates and chips … the Halloween serving size … I’m not going to start going further than that. I also don’t spend much on decorations, I put up enough to make people and kids know I’m celebrating Halloween … and I decorate five or six real pumpkins. That’s it … I put on a sound system with scary music and Halloween songs and serve candy all night long.

Gives a whole new gravity to this time of year

Because they report the news and inform the public … their content just tends to have a four or five year lag compared to reality.

Possibilities? … in the US?

The only possibility I ever see in the US is in knowing that they are going to make everything so much worse for everyone else .

China closes the airspace over Taiwan

Has a different meaning to everyone when you change the country names

Why accuse? … it’s a well known fact of Central American history at this point.

Profiteering in war … profiteering in peace … which will lead to more war… which will lead to more profiteering in war … repeat, repeat, repeat

It’s our modern day version of SNAKE OIL

None of us individually truly leave a lasting legacy. Maybe some get to have their name repeated a little longer than others but that’s about it.

Everything that’s happened in human history happened because of communities of people … they might have had a leader but even the leader wouldn’t have made any of it happen without large groups of people. And every single one of those people had a small part to play in making it all happen.

We all have a small part to play during our lives and together all our small parts add up to great things.

Cease fire? … oooooooooooooh … I thought you said Cesium fire.
