As I read comments on FB concerning the loss of life, homes and livelihoods in CA I can't help but wonder if America has lost her compassion for those who fall victim to natural disasters, loss of a job, loss of a loved one. The ugly comments spewing hatred for people they don't even know.

Sitting at the Gary terminal l on this cold cloudy day wishing I was someplace warmer. I went from blazing hot to cold almost overnight. Not that I'm complaining, but a few "nice" days would have been a good thing. JoJo is looking for snow, but it's long gone. Maybe next week when we're home.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
