Well, things are being worked on, declarations have been withdrawn or muted, and there have been mutual promises of "changes to come," so I feel a lot better than I did 2 days ago, even if things are still "up in the air."
Thank you for letting me vent about it here.
Back home, on the Cape, I could have walked down to the ocean and shouted it at the sea. Here in Upstate NY, you try that shit at your own peril, lol...
@Excal2mark I hope so.
None of the concessions made a major difference to the recently established "suggested guidelines" of our individual private lives, which I guess is ok... a lot of it has to do with an apparent "lack of graciousness" on my part, which I am still trying to figure out, so we shall see, my friend.
Thank you, as usual, for being the ONLY true human in our childhood set!
