It’s been nice taking a break from this.
We were out in Colorado for a while, breathing in the mountain air, enjoying the scenery and the ambience while realizing that the constant influx of people looking to better their lives in the Mile High City and its growing suburbs is all taking a toll on resources and land use and general well-being by turning open space into one big sprawly, suburban hamster wheel.
We took a bit of a break from following the news, too. I see nothing has changed on that score, except for the frequency of paid political advertising, which is reaching its mind-numbing fever pitch.
Only a couple more weeks, and then we can all look forward to another protracted, unnecessary slog because Donald Trump is a real-life nightmare. That the election is still close at this point should worry us all– even those who still think he’s got the chops and not just making it all up as he goes.
