I feel compelled to share this event that happened during the tragedy of the death of my brother Derek from his car accident.
What is this life? The hardest times of your lives will never be forgotten. The amazing part is what you see when you are looking back. As you walk through that next door, sometimes you have a moment, that you realize something else was also happening during that horrible time of life. There are things in life that we don't share with everyone. I have shared this with only a few close people since this occurred. (Thank you for listening when you did).

Do you all yearn for the days when the worst that happened was having a ghost in your neighbour's home?
Such happy times!
Fortunately, for our neighbour, we had a Ghosthunter in our midst and she used magic spells that all sensitive ghosts could understand.

Natural flood plains form where floods spread silt and mud in river valleys. Being flat, fertile, picturesque and usually supplied with surface and underground water, they attract farms, orchards and gardens. These are inevitably followed by roads, houses and businesses.
Things are grim.
We have so many problems and a storm is brewing.
I suspect that we have a Big Wednesday and a frog outside our window.

Russia is one of the world’s largest producers of petroleum, natural gas, and coal.
Kremlin-backed media outlets have been banned throughout the European Union, both on television and on apps and online platforms. RT has lost its Sky TV slot in the UK, where the outlet is also blocked on YouTube. Australian TV providers SBS and Foxtel have dropped RT, and the federal government is putting pressure on social media platforms to block Russian media in Australia.
In the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Latvia, speaking in support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine will get you years in prison.

European countries that have veered away from coal in favor of renewables are now susceptible to electricity price shocks with the continent’s main natural gas supplier being at war with Ukraine.
Apart from Poland, all member-nations of the European Union (EU) have vowed to attain net-zero emissions by 2050.

What is going on in the world right now is becoming more and more like Alice in Wonderland and going down a rabbit hole. The only problem is that this rabbit hole is full of murky water, dirty secrets and more filth than a London sewer in Victorian Britain.
Make no mistake: what is happening in Ukraine is about the underground of the sewer of pedophilia, corruption and money.

We are living in a strange world at the moment. One that is full of lies, deceit and manufactured misinformation and disinformation.
What is true? What is an illusion?

At one time, the U.S. possessed the greatest fighting machine ever assembled, but decades of neglect, incompetence and cultural deterioration have taken a devastating toll.
Just look at what happened in Afghanistan. After nearly two decades of fighting, we couldn’t even defeat a ragged bunch of drug dealers and goat herders known as the Taliban.

I received an email this morning that I felt was worth sharing. The author said " Not everybody is surprised by Putin's move, and I am one of them..."
It got me to thinking. What have we allowed to happen to our world, our countries and our sense of self that we are now facing the implosion of Europe and the conquest of the South Pacific and the collapse of everything we hold dear? All because we have a braindead idiot in the Whitehouse?
