I am taking a second while it is still Saturday to slip in an under-the-wire SoCS post before I go to bed.
I hope everyone has had a good week. It has been a strange week here in the US with the Republican convention, but I want to assure readers in other countries that the US is not the dangerous place that the speakers at the convention make it out to be. Crime is actually down.
I think we need less fear and suspicion and more love and empathy.
That goes for all nations.
Good night. Wishing you all peace.

Yes, truly we do have many, many of them, including you, JoAnna! I hope I didn’t imply otherwise in the post. Stream of consciousness and late night may not be the best combination…

I promise that, for the most part, it is safe. There are certainly many things that we need to improve, but everyday life for me is not dangerous at all!

I’m so glad. Now we just have to hope the orange wonder doesn’t get elected.

Many, many of us will work hard to ensure he doesn’t. The Democratic convention was inspiring. Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine have a positive vision and plans for the country, as well as vital experience in government.
