I don't presume to know

Twisted tree on a recent ramble

Paranoid or prudent? Whichever, I’ve decided not to be a part of the guaranteed-to-be-packed Sam Bonds’ crowd tonight for Trouble Cuts, Dan Jones & The Squids, and The Visible Men. It’s going to be fun and rockin’ I’m sure, but I don’t want to risk bringing home a bug. And to be honest, I just don’t feel like socializing in a big bunch of people packed into a small venue tonight. So there you have it.

No real bites on the typewriter yet, which I’ve now listed on Craigslist in addition to Facebook Marketplace. But I think it’s good to be patient. I’m not in any particular hurry. It’s just good to have gotten the selling process started. I can always list more typers before this one sells, if I feel like it.

I know lots of my friends are feeling like civilization as we know it is about to end in three days. I think there will definitely be changes, but collectively that’s what the country voted for, no matter how we feel individually about it. I personally have some tingly anticipation going. For sure, I’m probably not going to like or be in favor of certain things about to happen on the national and world stages, but I’m super curious (and might actually be pleasantly surprised) about the near future. I don’t think it’s good to be in fear. I want to be open to the moments as they unfold. I don’t presume to know what’s best for reality!

We here chez Random have our own rather intense set of events on the horizon to deal with, to be mentally and emotionally oriented toward. So the big picture is just going to have to take care of itself in the meantime!
