The brain is a tricky thing. I, like your wife, was finding all the beauty in the garden and enjoying the idea that life goes on beyond men's historical beliefs, ideals, hate, war, and we can step back and look at it from afar. Sometimes its hard to change the conversation in our brains.

As meandered today, along a short path, through the bush park between my home and our little suburban village shopping centre, I looked up at one of the several magnificence 75 plus year old gum trees, in awe as its 75+ feet spread out into a blue sky & sunshine.

-No worries about inflation, or investing

-Not bothered at all about carbon pollution, food for living!

No offended about red tail cockatoos stripping its gum-nuts and littering the path

- No not thinking or ruminating about much at all really.

Methinks as a 7 and 1/2 score years, “You lucky son of a gum nut!” observer.

In bush scrubland you lumber maker, will most likely continue living a life of swaying leisure & provide pleasure to others, whom fly in or passing by, look up in wonder … and for many, many more years past my own last bed time.

You can tell how much the Ruling Pigs hate and fear Milei by the nastiness of the 'insinuendos' floating through the air here in the US. I hope he has a good security outfit because he will certainly need it. Freedom and well-being?! Can't have that! BTW, you are making me sick with all your beautiful places there in B.A. Hope you appreciate that.

Yes, there may be lots of inspiring things to see and do in BA, but don’t you feel just a little unsafe, even threatened, with all those people wandering around maskless in public? Not a single child that I see is wearing a mask either! What are the parents down there thinking? That’s taking risk just a little too far, IMO.

It must be awful for you to face such a dilemma. As we of the cold windy north face more of a miserable in like a lion March.

Keep up the great work

G'day Joel ok you got me so now I have to start planning my trip to support the Milei cause so make sure there are some tea shirt and caps to wear out into those annoyed crowds .. freedom needs help in every country including your own .. as you well know .. it's a long battle but hope reigns eternal .. even when there are so many evil forces pretending to be the opposite ..
