World's Still Here It Seems...At Least For the Moment

Some Countries are freer than others. I think you would find that hard to argue with. I consider myself lucky to have been born in the US. And that's what it is, luck of the draw. Look at what happens to dissenters in Russia and China, as well as many other "less free" places. Here, at least for the present, I can say whatever I like about the government, including criticizing those in charge, and as long as there is no physical harm threatened, I remain free and "un-tortured". 
Of course, if those who would be the new "Royal" American class come to power, that might change. We'll just have to see if there is a second American Civil War coming. It might be necessary to prevent the disenfranchisement, and yes, even the enslavement, of the poor, the old, the disadvantaged, and the minorities. I really don't like those Republican sons-of-beechnuts.
Anyroad, once again I had great plans for my day, but due to a long bout of wrestling with demons (a physical thing, not a spiritual one), instead of sleeping, I have to settle for getting some of the less strenuous chores taken care of. I'm not really happy about it, but as an infamous killer supposedly once said, "Every day above ground is a good one." So, I will settle for doing what I can.
My demon wrestling didn't seem to disturb Eddie, but Albert did a lot of bear-type grumbling during the course of the night. He left early in the morning, whether because of my making to much noise or not, I couldn't say. Once I was up, Eddie proceeded to have a very agitated morning. He drove me crazy until a short time ago, when he finally settled down and took a nap on my shoulder, followed by another nap on my foot. He's preening (grooming himself) at this time.
So, yes, I know I have a couple of things to catch up on, but they'll just have to wait for now. I am going to have a cup of tea, read some Howard Waldrop (I'm reading his collection "Howard Who?"), and go walking with Mom. Gotta' make sure she gets her exercise. Assuming the world is still here tomorrow, and for most of us I hope it is, well...we'll take things from there...'til then, be well...
