Without getting killed or caught

It is hard to know where things are headed sometimes. Just when you think we can solve a problem by dumping seawater on it, the salt starts to plug up the works. Or perhaps the only imaginable thing worse than the tyrant winning is the rebels winning. Then it turns out that the very same people who were for this thing yesterday are against it today, and you don’t know if it is because you suggested it or maybe they are just nuts.

Or maybe you are just nuts. Hard to determine in the midst of trying to get things done. I should say GET THINGS DONE, because that is what we are about, right? Mark if off. Cross it out. Fill the check box. Who does not want to be compliant, because without compliance what do you get? Meltdowns.

Sometimes, though, you get meltdowns anyway. Check off all the switches and still the earthquake comes. There aren’t enough years to suppress the hungry out of people. Cracks form where there once were roads and new trails are blazed in the wilderness. What is left is, however, something to work with.
