2019 to 2022 - A dark time, a plague time. Isolation, watching my country - and the world - overrun with a kind of madness, madness for power and control, greed, and crazy fear-mongering. More than a million dead, many because of all that craziness. Bad governors, misinformation, and absence of science sense or wise stewardship, people died of a disease believing that was impossible, even as they were dying. 

So little feels normal any more.
