"...more good news"


I was thinking about relative levels of danger we live with and take for granted. In Ukraine folks now go about normal lives with high explosive rockets landing nearby. Here in da big city. I’m used to random murder and stray bullets. There’s some that live deep in the Canadian woods. Where folks get eaten by bears now and then. Others well…the pool cleaner is late.

We all face a unique stay bullet.

    Some people actually jump off of cliffs wearing nothing but wing suits and a little bitty parachute *for fun*. I’ve seen vids of them doing it. They use the chutes to stop at the end just before they’d go splat. It looks incredibly dangerous, though I expect it’s exciting.

    I sit on our parkway benches and now often go to our local park...I post snaps. The park is lovely, yet people are murdered in there. ...five this summer.

    Also I mentioned there was that maniac that shot the parkway up as he drove by. I was witness. Here's the thing. We all take it in our stride. Like I mentioned in a post just now. We live with the 3rd world-ness facts of life and death.

    I guess the difference from them jumping off cliffs is we ain't doing it for thrills. Our everyday lives are thrill enough.

    Btw I'm wandering to the park today as it's clear breezy and cooler. I will sit in the shade read bad science fiction and drink ice cold Perrier. Like folks did during the Blitz.
    Life in wartime.
    I'm cool with it because this is who we are this is what it is.
