We Are Living In Historical Times...Yay!



One of the positive thangs about 2020 is the fact that we are living in hysterical, I mean historical times!



Maybe even more historical than when the Spanish Flu devastated the world in 1918! 



In 1918 they did not have the rioting, destroying statues, high murder rates, toilet paper shortages, coin shortages, A.O.C. , a despised president (Woodrow Wilson was kinda hated by some, but not as bad as D.J. Trump), a sports ban, and too many things that we don't have time to mention!

Woodrow Wilson. Such a kind face. 

Don't quote me on what they didn't have in 1918, because I'm just winging it, with absolutely no evidence! Kind of like politicians do.

Anyway, we have amazing bragging rights, in that we lived through "hard times" in 2020 (we hope)! Something historians will recount FOREVER!! See how tough we are? We're like the old pioneers who traversed an untamed American landscape in their covered wagons, or Lewis and Clark, who paved the way for folks who took away the Native American lands, when they "squatted" (don't like that word) wherever they wanted in Indian Territory, and blew away any of the native tribes that tried to stop them! 



Ironically, Sacagawea was immensely helpful to Lewis and Clark, and didn't have a clue she was contributing to the 99% destruction of her people all across the American landscape! (Whoops! I already used American landscape and I hate being redundant) How's about, all across the American planes! (However, this was before Orville and Wilbur invented planes...so how's about all across the American PLAINS!)



The point is, we are all gonna be in the history books and can tell everyone we meet, we lived through the most perilous time in history! (A slight exaggeration, but we need to make the story interesting for our great grandkids)



I did not know it would take worldwide pestilence and disasters to put me in the history books, but I'll take it!!
