I often have 'time travel' days I call them like that. And concerning snow and weather, I am so over our freak blizzards/power outages here in New England, thank God next winter I will be on your shores.

Concerning our political environment I try to ignore it all except the things that affect our financial world as it seems the only relevant thing, everything else seems more and more like theatre. It seems a hybrid between cold war and also the 'between the war years' of the 30's when the next world war was getting all laid out, truly scary times. Hey at least you have a pool to float in, I'd love to float in a pool right now, I'll live vicariously.
