What a horrible situation in Dallas. I'm worried about this being blamed on protesters and the President.
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The dentist can see me at 10:00. Yay! With a little luck, we'll be on the road by 11:00! (Cross your fingers that he just needs to trim the temporary crown to fix my bite.)
Unrelatedly, it feels like the entire world is ready to go up in smoke.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I really can't even comprehend anything, but I still think the solution is not "more guns".
Steph, I was looking for something else and found 2 doctors listed as "non-surgical spine"- Maybe that is what your silly friend needs? Anyway, it made me laugh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I went to bed last night when the first reports of shots were coming in, and I never thought I'd wake up to this. Jesus.

More and more I see echoes of the late '60s, with racial violence, political chaos, and even a youth subculture that the mainstream seems obsessed with (Millenials vs. Hippies). Fortunately there's no draft.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Connie, I was thinking about that last night. It feels like history repeating itself, again.

Connie, I was thinking the same. And wondering why, fifty years on, we're still in the same mess. Very depressing.

1860's--Civil War et al before and after
1910's--major league labor strife derailed by World War I
1960's--civil rights and Vietnam
2010's--racial violence.
I'm not up on what happened in the 1810s, other than the War of 1812. Much shit in between, of course. Perhaps the waves just intersect on a 50-year cycle.

Maybe that's how long it takes for people to forget.
