In the U.S., we are in an election year.  Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee for the Republican party.

The following is particularly appropriate given what's going on in the Republican primary:

"When it comes to controlling human beings, there is no better instrument than lies. Because you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts." Michael Ende Nov12, 1929

On the Democratic side, I think it's going to be a close race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

Can't believe it's been over 10 years since I posted here.  Lots have happened in the interim.

Medical issue came up four years after I last posted.  Subsequently fell into the black hole of Retirement.  What a trip -- still trying to get my head around it.  Humans need continuous purpose, even retired ones.  The human body, if you don't use it, you lose it.

On the blogging front, dabbled in other subjects:
