    To me politics are mostly pure insanity. It's somewhat crazy in Europe too, but US is on a whole new level. The populism and Trump won't go away in year or two, it might last half a decade or more before the pendulum swings again more towards the center and left and the "balance" will be restored in US and Europe. These times are crazy and they will become even more so. I think it's just a waste of energy and time to focus on that political circus in the meanwhile, but I can totally understand why people do that because there are so many emotionally upsetting things happening. Can you ignore just all of it? Probably not, even I like to keep myself up to date on the news even if I try to stay emotionally cool about things. It's not always easy though. That's why inner balance and the integrity of the individual matters so much in times like these.

    Wise words indeed.

    Personally, I try not to get caught up in the politics of either side and listen to the arguments on all sides, to try to come up with a balanced view and a proper synthesis of all the available facts. It is not perfect, but the best I can do for now.

    I, too, am disappointed. Disappointed in my friends who are sell-outs. Disappointed in the foolishness of so many of my fellow Americans. Disappointed in the short-sided outlooks. Lots of disappointment.

    But there's a bright outlook too. My son and all the folks like him will help things be better.

    A stupid but nonetheless entertaining movie:

    "The Man Who Killed Hitler...and then Bigfoot" starring Sam Elliot as a WWII era super soldier. The movie predominately takes place as memory flashbacks until...Bigfoot arrives.

    That plot sounds about just as credible as "Sharknado".

    . I was just looking up old patterns for double running stitch and I found a series of patterns with recommended colors.

    One of the colors was n-word black. Holy Crap. I don't think it was an official company color, there was no brand associated. But there was a person's name...
