Marching down to the utility company to receive an explanation, he was told that they conserved TOO much and that it was necessary to raise the minimum charge to cover the shortfall. He immediately went home and out of frustration started watering his landscape again. I see ourselves in the same predicament. Don't let frustration rule us. Do not go quietly into that void between meaninglessness and despair. Retain a sense of humanness and decorum as we face this most despairing epoch in our collective memory.

Despite my wife's heritage as a Cherokee her heart and mine are with the Sioux. Like all politicians our president and his party's nominee play both sides of the issues. If one believes in the intent of the Paris Accords then an "all of the above" is a terrible idea.
