So happy I'm not watch any news shows.....having a great time watching all my old

favorites on DECADES, and damn near NO advertisements!!! Most of these show are close to 30 minutes long, not like now where they’re only 17 - 18 minutes long. 😳

my pup on our 4-6 mile jaunts, but not lately. Between Afghanistan, the earthquake in Haiti (followed soon by tropical storm/hurricane), COVID-19 anti-vax idiocy and overwhelming surging, wildfires throughout the west, horrific air quality and extreme drought for the future, anything and everything coming out of the Trumpists and Congressional RW, my intense fear of failure to address voting rights in Congress, possible recall of Newsome, handing CA to a Trumpist idiot.. and on and on and on.

I just can't take it day in and day out. Music and old Doc Martin episodes for me right now. Or some carefully chosen podcasts.
