It is a tricky little thing, that hope. Though without it, I think life would get most folks down. And I'm sure what you're going through right now with your jerky governor, doesn't help a bit. Hope that gets resolved soon. Why do so many powerful people feel they are above everyone else? And are such asses. Hope you keep your hope alive, it is what keeps us going through the shite of life. And there's always some to go around. Have a nice Saturday night, hope it's quieter...
I was at 3 am with all this thoughts in my mind the other day so I wrote them down cause at that hour the brain go into "deep thinking mode" hehehe
