Changes

[poliphilo]

Yesterday was such a lovely day I got the loungey chairs out of the shed and Ailz and I sat in our newly paved yard- under the shade of the holly bushes- and looked up at the very blue sky.  After a while she went back inside, and I dozed, with my book of crossword puzzles in my lap.

No planes flying, the economic system in meltdown, the catholic church wilting under attack, Russia and the USA agreeing to cut their nuclear arsenals, earthquakes, political ferment, Goldman Sachs getting sued for fraud- is this a freak in the time-flow- a brief cross-current- or are we living through a period of quite extraordinary change?

My vote is for "extraordinary change."

I also note that in the North and West there are just as many nut cases as there are in the deep South. Ihave a feeling that not only the Union would split in such a case, but so would many of the states. Wouldn't THAT be a puzzle for Someone to solve?

The USA has done very well to hold itself together over the past 150 years, but the cracks go deep.
