By my fingernails

[degringolade]

Hangin' on to the edge of Middle Class.  

Doesn't sound fun, does it.

Well, truth of the matter is that there are a lot of folks just like me out there.  

And I am still in pretty good shape in the grand scheme of things.  As Jason Isbell sez:

You should know compared

To people on a global scale

Our kind has had it relatively easy

I can't say that the future holds anything particularly fearsome for me.  I presaged 4:20 last evening when this post found it's incept, and sometimes when in that particular state I start looking at the state of the world a little too closely and the possible bad outcomes stretching out before me start to outweigh the possible neutral/good outcomes by a significant margin.

Day to day, one cannot spend too much time on this kind of navel-gazing.  Whether you like it or not, the actions of the actors of the world are as remote to us and as inscrutable as the actions of Tyche were to Athens and Plataea.  

I will spend some time with family today.  When I get home I will spend some time developing my magic gummi bear recipe and chilling.
