You are lucky.

I do have a beautiful bratty cat, a small orchard, and vegetable garden. So thankful I am not getting drone attacks!!!

Yeah - when I feel really gloomy, I remember that I live in an attractive part of rural Scotland, and not in Yemen.

I do not live too far away from Vandenberg AFB. last year or so, major air flights over head, low and LOUD. I get so PTSD, sometimes I scream at the sky, as the noise is oppressive and can continue at times, 10 minutes perhaps? I feel this is all about preparing for war with China. I once in early 80s protested that airbase several times, met Daniel Ellsberg, guided him into the back country. So Cait tells me I do nothing, and my depression is not well deserved? Also met breifly Daniel Ortega via Amy Goodman, in San Fran, before we went out to try to stop arms shipments to Nicaragua at Concord Naval Weapons Station. But, i am a bad person for getting depressed. Being depressed means what again?

But is not that so very .... sad. Sigh. When you know our war machines and corruption is causing these sorts of suffering, and our taxes pay for it!
