woodlice hard at work โข๏ธ ๐ซ
Thank you, David! ๐ Even though the comparison with woodlice came to mind immediately, it’s unfortunately quite apt, as you pointed out. Yes, they’re very hardworking, and if we’re being honest, they’ve already done a considerable amount of work this year. A woodlice could never accomplish that on its own. ๐ค๐
If I may, I think/hope, that most of the world understands it’s not Americans who are to blame for ๐. (Only half, LOL). Sorry for the bad joke, but I sincerely believe most of the world understands what Americans are going thru. As an example, only a handful of Argentinians supported the military junta. Likewise with the people from Chile.

Down Under seems like a good choice. A good friend of mine moved there a good while back. He’s very happy.
As for “Don’t cry for me America”, it’s a good ‘revisit’. I might use it one day.
Me? I moved to mexico another while back… It has is great advantages and drawbacks. The greatest of all is proximity to the US…
C’est la vie.
Be good, David.
