RE: Odds and Ends — 3 March 2026

I want to write about the war, but can't get started. Just too upsetting. Besides all the other issues...the legality, for example. The way Trump and Hegseth talk about killing people. There is such a lack of empathy, of understanding the suffering that this war is bringing to people. Enemy, friend. It's a terrible thing and they don't seem to grasp that it's a terrible thing to kill. No empathy. No understanding.

I know where you stand, so I'm saying this in a friendly place. It's nice to know you're here, plugging away every day.
