I know many of the horrible things that can happen. But we must never give up hope. What I think 2026 will be is the year that the rivers will start to flow again. Garbage will be removed, human power will do most of it along with great inventions. It is happening and I am seeing so much on youtube lately..must have hit an algorithm. I have seen the most amazing videos from Pakistan, Vietnam, Dominican Republic, India. From the human side alone, there are men (seems to be mostly men) and women side by side, sometimes in waste up to their necks, not properly outfitted with PPE, using small garbage bags -- and they are cleaning out rivers, canals, ditches and allowing stagnant water to flow again.

I think it is an allegory for something..but it is also very inspirational (and hopefully they get the proper PPE etc.)

Good for Mary. You may not be on Facebook but I am. There are a lot of negative things on it , but also lots of light stuff as well. About 6 months ago I wrote to 11 of my friends on Messenger to stop sending me news on "ump" and others . One gave me shit, but I cleaned it up and she now understands. The other keep sending so I blocked him. I tried to explain to many that it is not healthy to live each day in a negative news world. In fact I try to stay away from negative people because they just bring you down. First thing that most of us do is turn on the T.V. and watch the morning headlines, then it's on the computer and phone to read the latest news. Then it is our for a coffee with the gang. Then guess what! its one of the first topics that is discussed. I don't have to bring it up because it does anyway. You can't completely screen it all out, but you can begin to try by being aware of your own agenda. I'm not perfect at it, but I'm working at it. So , enough of my rant. Have a great day Mary.

*Applause*, Beer. Bad news is addictive, and no news these days is good news; I try to limit my intake, preferably by finding more constructive things to do (like the washing-up).

Keep at the detox, folks. As Linus is saying on my calendar today: Happiness is a crisp new book and a long afternoon with nothing else to do.
