If you look around the world, there are too many autocrats running countries.  We don't need to add the US to the list.

At the beginning of the year I wanted to make a flag  that said, "2024 IS THIS THE BEST WE GOT?"

I want to ask the MAGA people when was America great? In the 1950s when racism was institutionalized, gays were arrested, transgender people were committed to mental wards, and misogyny was an accepted way of life?

A bit harsh, I hope ;D.  Last time Trump was elected, Russia got blamed.  Perhaps this time we can rely on China ;).

No, see... that's the saddest thing. 95% of the American folks I've had the pleasure of getting to know, to understand, to form friendships with... America has ALWAYS been great. We rib at each other across the pond but... don't sell yourself short. It isn't about making America great again. It's about embracing what makes you folks great in the first place. And it's not backwards views on stuff that most countries have. Blaming other people for stuff. We all do that.

What makes America great is... honestly it's your optimism. It's your belief that no matter who you are, you can always be better. It's the core of the American Dream. It's the steadfast assertion that you can come from nowhere, and go somewhere. It's the encouragement you have for people. To want to lift folks up to be better. I know that hasn't exactly shone through lately with how disillusioned a lot of folks there are with the world... but you folks are some of the best at being inclusive, encouraging, and uplifting out of probably anyone. You just need to convince half your country that this is who you are, and why it's a good thing.

I know it is, everyone else in the world who has had relations with the US knows it is. You have been known for doing the greatest, most amazing things.

Making America Great Again is just a case of realising and embracing what made America great in the first place. And the reason countries like the UK has had such a close, special relationship with you folks for so long. Where the Queen, for the first time ever, broke tradition and had the changing of the guard play the US national anthem in solidarity on 9/11.

You are already great. You just need to shake off the hatemongering. I honestly believe that. :)

Just to say one last thing on this, then I'll shut up. Do you know that you folks in the US have sovereign territory in the UK. The Queen gifted land to the US for a memorial to one of your greatest ever presidents. Someone who... got it. There's a little part of America in green and pleasant England. :)

I never knew this till recently... but this is what happens when we all work together...

If I sit on the memorial for five years, will I qualify as a natuaralized US citizen? 

Do British police have the authority to drag me off the memorial? 

If I order food to be delivered, will the British or US customs and excise authorities cause any problems?

I attended a meeting last night with WAVI, a local outreach and support group. WAVI = Women Against Violence, Inc. and last night's presentation was "Adaptation and Resilience" for those who have experienced traumas of violence. The presentation meshed nicely with where I currently am with my therapy addressing my experiences and the resulting PTSD symptoms.

I was uncertain if I would attend, but they served sub sandwiches and that meant I didn't have to cook. So yeah. Sign me up. The meeting went well with several of my neighbors attending. After the meeting, they insisted that there be no leftovers, so we pigged out and visited for a bit.

Fall has definitely arrived and the trees are beginning to yellow. My apartment is on the second floor so I have a great view when their color change hits its peak.

My Money Tree is doing well and seems to be happy in its new pot. I have two Golden Pothos plants that were attempting to take over my apartment. I gave them a good trim, cutting off almost twenty feet of vines total from both plants. Repotted them with fresh soil and gave them all a good soak.

Within the next couple of days, the next batch of rocks will be ready to pull from the rock tumblers. I have a couple of rocks in there I am looking forward to seeing how they turned out. I have a large mixing bowl, plus several plastic containers full of polished rocks. I may start shutting down tumblers as each stage completes and focus on converting the ton of stones into jewelry.

Of course, you all will get to see them first!
