Catastrophes, real and imagined...
Sorry for the light posting, occasioned by the fact that there is presently too much news, much too much news, and digesting it, and reacting to it, and adjusting to it has to be my primary responsibility. If you don't know what I mean, see this and this on our distributor's bankruptcy filing.
But, to keep perspective, see this and this (Helen and Paul are friends of mine from college, ditto of Jenny D.'s). It's an instance of pure evil at work in the world.
