It wasn't his tie. It was his ties--to money and power. I now live in a country that is about to abolish every major program that helps people. It will impact all of us.

I need a hug.

And boy, are we glad of it.

I'm so sorry. Have a hug and some warmth and strength from a complete stranger, who feels your pain.

SF if one of the few places I won't drive in. If I had a business trip there, it was cabs all the time. And a lot of sitting in the back with my eyes on my knees. Place scares the crap outta' driver me.

Favorite "console": PC (I'm 62 and that controller is tough for me.)

Favorite Games: Dark Souls & Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring, BG3, Valheim, Tomb Raider, Wolfenstein, and (not least at all) Oblivion and Skyrim (in that order). I could go on, but I won't.
