Notes - fair assessment /


       Mid-morning. "Morning Joe" increased your apprehension as the focus was on the escalation of the North Korean crises (decapitalized for the moment). The crisis is more personal for Carol as she lived in Seoul for two years (fifth/sixth grades) in the late fifties. She visited the DMZ and knows how close Seoul is to the line. And as a family today again more personal concern especially with Paul, Cathy and Peter as well as their parents who still have relatives (aunts and uncles) who live there. You think on how you would feel if Sao Paulo may be bombed (conventional or otherwise) within the next few months. Historically, you shift to the bombing of London because you have studied those times in some depth. - Amorella

       0950 hours. I don't like to think on it. I don't have confidence in the Trump Whitehouse or even in a legislative branch that wants to (but for two or three) delete Obamacare. (Where is the better humanity?) My apprehension is rising into the Cuban Missile Crisis days. That was absolutely frightening to think that we might see on live television that we had about twenty minutes before an all-out nuclear war would hit the Otterbein College campus. I remember I was frightened more for how the world would be in the aftermath than losing my life. Now, my focus is on how it would be for Owen and Brennan and Kim and Paul even if it isn't an all-out nuclear war. A Great Change would take place in the world at large and politics would be the least of it for most individuals. (1000)

       Good, you ran out of thought and words at the same time. - Amorella

       1001 hours. I have too much imagination and not enough intuition to guide me.

       Fair assessment. Post. - Amorella
