Clearly, CPB has an identification problem. I feel certain a 6-year-old would know the difference between a party balloon and a drone.

From the NY Times: “C.B.P. officials thought they were firing on a cartel drone... but it turned out to be a party balloon.”

Best mental reset l've learned:

If your mind is loud - Write.
If your mind is empty - Read.
If your mind is racing - Walk.
If your mind is tired - Sleep.
If your mind is sharp - Build.
Most problems are just mismatched energy.

Get the inputs right, the rest follows.
