It's that time of the year again. But, this year is so
unprecedented, that if I wrote it up and tried to
publish it, no publisher would touch it. I'd be told
no one would believe it because it was too . . .
you pick a word for it.
Now, I know it is my public duty to emerge and
check out my shadow. But if you think I am going
to even stick my paw out, you are crazy. It clearly
is not safe out there.
Besides, if you looked out the window this morning,
there was so much sunshine . . . there is no question
about shadows. There is a very large shadow looming
over the land -- the man I wrote about last year -- the
one with the orange hair.
I have been watching TV, at least some of the time.
Don't want to make myself sick (or crazy) over what
is on. Instead, I have put in place some precautionary
measures. I have a new back exit, enough food so as
not to starve, and have stopped my newspaper delivery.
I keep my cell phone fully charged.
Punxsutawney Phil, a couple of DC cousins who live
in Rock Creek Park, and I were going to head south
to Cancun for some winter relief. You know, laze around
on the beach getting a good tan, and sip on margaritas
and those little coladas with the cute umbrellas. But we
decided to cancel the trip. Being brown and not white,
we were afraid of being detained at the border as Mexican
rapists and drug dealers.
Going north into Canada, where sanity prevails, trades the
beach for skis and snowshoes. Not my cup of tea.
So, I have kept my bag all packed in case I need to make a
quick getaway.
As best as I can figure, the administration strategy is to make
even money by being King of the World, alienate all of
America's allies, and use the GOP before they catch on that
they are being used. And climate change is a conspiracy
concocted by all those scientists.
I had been thinking of visiting the West's national parks.
But, I understand that they will be used for mining oil and
other minerals.
So . . . I will hole up, watch snippets of news, and wait for
the house of cards to collapse.
