We just finished reading an article about how humans have pumped out so much groundwater that the Earth’s axis has shifted. And, this could be linked to changes in the mass of glaciers and ice sheets. Another matter is the emergence of malaria in Sarasota which is accompanied by the arrival of Giant African Snails that carry a parasite that can cause meningitis and even eat stucco. Now that is news!
While politicians and Congress take on minorities, drag queens, pole dancing and book banning – the world is flooding and burning. Wildfire smoke from the eastern Canadian provinces continues to descend into the mid-west and eastern US producing the worst air quality index ever in many cities. The deadly heat and scorching temperatures in the south are pushing the limits of survival. Even the squirrels have taken to splooting to cool themselves. But, Congress, instead of addressing global changes of fire, floods, tidal rise, and shrinking glaciers insists on fighting over who has the biggest ego. And it is not only men anymore who tout their big egos these days but women also have joined in. Cat fights are now becoming part of the culture of the House floor. With heads so big, we wonder how these politicians can squeeze through those Congressional doors of the Capitol.
As the smoke looms over Washington, another cloud begins to form in a southern Florida county. It looks like jurors may be needed for the espionage trial of a once President who pilfered documents to share with the likes of the Russian and/or Saudi governments. A spy, a mole, a not-so secret agent who boldly proclaimed his crime to the public on tape while ordering Cokes to go around.
This mole has made a habit of showing off his baubles while letting boxes pile up in his mansion, bathrooms, shower, next to a toilet, or flowing onto a stage. Moles that leave evidence behind like that, we think deep down inside, want to be found. They certainly crave attention and constantly seek fame. They require their followers to adorn them and be beheld as victims. So, what does that say about the current espionage case that flows like a game of Clue where Colonel Mustard, in the Shower, with Boxes kills the Country? At some point in their criminal career, moles like him, must want it all to end and want to be found. We must first convince Colonel Mustard that he is a criminal. What a leap that would be!
We are hopeful that the smoke will clear and that blue skies will reign over south Florida as the espionage case progresses. For, in the end, remaining forever hopeful, we believe In Good We Trust, and that justice will reign.
