Was it good riddance, or a tough time for you? It was common occurrence. Fear makes people wild.

The people who mattered to me remained. One apologized, another has become able to at least listen to me and able to discuss. Recently, she started complaining that Trump could possibly declare her a domestic terrorist, should she be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I reminded her that her president's administration actually did incarcerate a great many conservatives for being in the wrong place at the wrong time (Jan 6 which she still calls an insurrection), and came very close to declaring me a domestic terrorist for a lifestyle choice (not submitting to experimental medical treatment). In the end, I was able to point out that both "sides" are dangerous to those who disagree, and that if we let our side do this or that, we should be prepared for the other side to do the same thing. We must take back our freedom. To do that, I fear, we must become ungovernable.
Too many people shoot surface politics from the hip while jumpy to defend their cult. In my head I’m always the lone native who broke away from the tribe. I assess all power’s actions upon me in an instant, and usually say “no” to whatever scheme is up its sleeve. Then I walk away. Certain power structures I am dependent on. For example, National Grid, my wife’s opinion, income village water and sewe, and the the U.S. mail.
For me it always boils down to this: “The Enemy is anyone who’s going to get you killed.”
Friendship is the easy sharing of your craziest self to another, with laughter. Tolerance and acceptance is not enough. We have enough polite sentiment in the world to make anybody sick. Cheers to you! Watch out for winter!
Winter is much milder here in Allegany county than it is up by you, although last year was difficult, with ice everywhere for a solid month.
I can do this now, but haven't always been able to see the game. Seems to me, while reading your book, that you have always been willing, to say no. And colorfully too! I read your letter to your bosses last night. So funny! Hey Ted, you suck! Did you come and go at that restaurant often?
I wrote letters to my bosses all the time. I was a real primadonna!:)
One time on college graduation day (the busiest), I took the cook’s 5 gallon bucket garbage (yes, the one with the fish heads), and dumped it in the middle of the dining room in front of my boss, staff and 400 customer eyes. Then walked out.
He hired my back with a raise the next day.
No! You must be very good. Or loved in a way you do not describe in your book. No way I would have done that except for someone exceptional, and loveable.
:)
I was (am) hard working and reliable for sure. But I think that boss actually enjoyed the drama!
Thank you for the kind words.
