Early June is a time full of promise. To some "June is bustin' out all over." To those in the far north it may be a chilly and windy time, though less cold than January, say. In the southern hemisphere the official start of winter is close and autumn is drawing to a frosty close.
Since I am in the northern hemisphere let's experience an atmosphere of hope and newness for a moment. In years past summer has brought freedom bus rides and lunch counter protests. A few years later there has been police brutality -- or Sammy Davis, Jr. hugging Richard Nixon -- take your pick.
Now, we have the opportunity for another kind of summer. Before the pundits completely take over our country with a projected Hilary Clinton/John Ellis ("Jeb") Bush race, let us prepare ourselves (legally and non-violently) for the coming crisis of finance and confidence. I have spoken of this coming crisis before. Most recently, this has been written of in The Crash of 2016, by Thom Hartmann.
I see my duties now as reading as much as I can, posting here, and getting my own financial house in order. Beyond this, I see myself developing some specific to-do lists relating to how to survive and how to help others survive.
As you can see I am a bit ambitious. For now, I am listening, watching, waiting, and trying to cooperate with reality.
N.B. The close of the season has been a busy and hectic time for me. Things are easing now, and among other summer-time duties, I hope to continue posting here. It is apparent to me that a new day is indeed coming.
