While I was waiting for DU - and feeling lost without it - I found this cartoon

1. So good to see you, my dear Mira!

And I love the cartoon.

2. I was lost in the desert without DU

in the time of great need. Yet, I found it to be beneficial to me as well, because it allowed time for introspection I may not have had spewing with others about the goings on.
I hope you are OK - I feel like I was tossed in a toilet and am still on the inside hanging by my fingernails, but one leg has swung over the rim.

3. I'm better now than I was. Not having DU was awful.

Facebook is fine, but it's not DU!

I keep realizing over and over again what our election loss will mean over the long haul, and then I get sad/mad all over again.

4. Actually

the picks of helpers so far is terrifying. We will have the snakes running the drained swamp.

5. That they are. Terrifying!

I get so discouraged when I think about the fact that they oppose everything we love and believe in.

Everything.

6. Tonight, I went to a performance

of my local Symphony, to soothe my soul.
In the lobby, as tickets were checked, a WHITE, OLDER MAN talked over my head to a person to my left: Yes, he said. It is awful. Now we have to gather and work harder.
I just high fived him.
We must stay vigilant, and accept nothing that is against our principles without loud opposition

7. Exactly right, dear Mira. Glad you got out for some good music! n/t

8. Good tune!

Glad we can be "normal" again, too.

9. I did see this one

But missed a bunch... shout out to n2doc. Only saw one Luckovich in the entire miserable week.
