They say these are uncertain days. BullShit! I am certain these are days. They say these are challenging days. Aren't they all.
They say these are dark days. Well I concur, sort of. Especially at night when you look up at the heavens. Some of us know that the universe is getting dimmer. As the everlasting know it all, for the last 2 billion years the universe is dimmer because of expansion, less star formation and more black holes. Because of the Sun during the day you won't notice any dimming. But at night it is significanly darker than it used to be. In our neihborhood out here in the suburbs of the Milkey Way where there are not street lights on every corner, the darkness is even more obvious.
