SOS
This is an SOS from an American to other Americans. PLEASE call your Representatives to IMPEACH our president who is very quickly diving towards dictatorship. This is untenable, and only our irresponsibility with our own democratic powers is letting it happen.

Thanks, sincerely, --vikingjon
Thanks David Bowie
I remember my sister (RIP) sitting me down to listen to The Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders from Mars. There are a few albums she did that with.

Space Oddity, Changes, Rebel Rebel, Jean Genie were all big on the radio as well

People tell me, "Why don't you worry about the whole world less and worry about yourself?" It's not a question, though, it's an admonishment, as if they know what it's like to feel the wings fall off a butterfly somewhere in Ethiopia, or another tree go groaning down in Madagascar, monkeys shrieking, as if they know what I know about... everything.
I AM worried about myself, and I DON'T know everything, and I know I'm going to run out of time before I win the war on ignorance. It sounds arrog

"Well, I'm back," he said.
--Sam Gamgee, last words of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'Lord of The Rings'.
I'm glad to be back among the living! Touch and go for a bit there. I came down ill in October and in spite of my best efforts I couldn't recuperate on my own. I spent six weeks writhing in bed, then spent a week in hospital in November, where there was talk of organ transplants and dialysis. Scans showed possible cancer, then didn't. I just needed time and TLC, though, which I got from the caring staff, my family, my friends who called to check on me regularly, and a beautiful view from my windows. I missed Thanksgiving with the family, and w
