Wow.  Blink and you miss it.  Seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the last normal holiday season before the COVID plague hit.  And that was three entire years ago.

“Time keeps on slipping into the future…”

This past year was a frustrating one, in too many ways.  For me, it was that so much corruption has become obvious in our society and government.  I used to believe that we could do something to change that.  That all it would take is to gain enough momentum and we could overcome the powers that be.

But as I’ve grown older the less that I see that happening.  People see the corruption and how pervasive it has become – and I’m looking you especially FBI and Department of Justice – that they simply give up trying.
