    It does feel that way...but hey, seems that trying times are fertile soil for excellent poetry, eh? Trying to find silver linings...

    So, considering it feels like the world is going to hell in a handbasket, I feel remarkably calm. What can you do? Control it? No. Not a chance. So Keep Calm and Carry On. That's all you can do.
