It’s just unbearable to see these older people suffering, having to leave. Many have mobility issues. Damn, life is hard enough and then for them to have to face this in their twilight years…

Another thing that distresses me is the utter destruction. It is so hard to build something and then to have it blown to bits over some megalomaniac’s fantasy!

I had a Russian friend but I quit having anything to do with her when she made a remark sympathetic to trump. She keeps sending me jokes even though I have asked her to remove me from her list. Tonight I was cleaning out my email box and one came in. It was a racist joke and disgusted me. It was about laziness with Hispanics and African Americans. I can’t imagine a sense of humor that would find this funny.

I just have to keep remembering my other Russian friend who was a self made millionaire and who lived an average lifestyle. His millions meant nothing to him so he donated it all to social justice issues.
