26. Know how you feel..

Sat Sep 6, 2025, 12:49 PM

Saturday

but I reviewed my life from the beginning. Born middle of the Great Depression, childhood to age 10 dominated by WW2. Sadly, missed the hippy era, JFK, MLK and RFK assassinations, Kent State and the ultimate horror- Donald J. Trump. So, the really bad part it turns out begins with DJT. Other than that I have lived in the Golden Age of the USA.
