Dark Clouds and Priorities

I often wish that I could spend my time on this blog posting about my Nature/camping adventures, my love of sports and music and maybe pass along some cute cat pix and funny memes.

But our Country is in grave peril, and I can't pretend it's not happening. Donald trump is a first-class con artist, a traitor and a wanna-be dictator. We can't just pretend it's not so.

His speech at CPAC this week is just one more piece of clear evidence that he's a very, very serious threat to our democracy and our Nation. Please read this piece from Teagan Goddard. It's well worth the next two minutes of your day. 

Being immersed in this stuff is soul-crushing; I hate it.

But I implore you, don't look away.
