Little known fact about Aberdeen SD … Frank Baum, the author of the Wizard of Oz lived there in the late 1890’s…I also lived there in the middle 1970’s while attending Northern State College.

Answer! Don’t watch or listen to the news. Find out from forums later on when it has been watered down.
Maybe that’s weakness?
I enjoy being in the moment with my activities.
I realise being a well-known author you have to have your finger on the pulse.
But there is something to be said for being ‘unavailable’ and with God.

My go to is to get on the water, with nothing to worry about except a boat, the weather and sea.

That is a beautiful and interesting geography. If i ever return to the USA, it would be on an itinerary including Arizona, Montana and New Mexico.

Step one: Drastically reduce news intake.
Step two: Find something to do with one’s hands (careful not to pick the devil’s idle hands. Easy mistake). I’ve personally been gardening and disappearing for hours on end to pick berries of an evening.
Step three: If one must indulge oneself on the inter-webs I’ve started playing the algo’s against themselves and speed scrolling until such time as I come across positive anecdotes, mostly from random people. Those are the only ones I stop and read for any length of time…
After viewing each of these I lean back in my chair, close my eyes, and think to myself:
“I hope that one was genuine”…

I’ve been thinking about ‘Time Travel’- and how, even with foreknowledge, I’d end up a helpless tourist in my own past… (Even so,I’d probably still head back to 1974, and say hi to those who’ve passed on- after all, they were the only ‘home’ that there ever was)
