Same here again Capri. Besides travel is inherent in our livelihood and is not even for visiting or for social reasons. We have travelled - last month - and there were no difficulties. Besides I am a nomad at heart, and always have been.

"If malice or envy were tangible and had a shape, it would be the shape of a boomerang." Charley Reese "“There are people on whom even clean linen looks indecent.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Demons

All along the Watchtower (Bryan Ferry) Listening to this and thinking how vigilant we need to be. Something wicked this way comes.

The scourge of political correctness.

How easily people can be influenced by the ill-intentioned who blacken someone's character

Barcarolle Something peaceful in the midst of harshness. Good staging too. It's getting late.

The pathetic machinations of those who are legends only in their own minds.

"Hope matters because its opposite is toxic to our emotional wellbeing. Also, it can lift your spirits straight away and that’s a reward in itself even if you don’t get what you were hoping for. So time considering what you hope for in a day or a situation is time well spent. " Padraig O'Moráin

Yes, Job. Very good movie. Also liked Pale Rider.

The Music Teacher (1988).

Well, I suppose horoscopes are a bit of entertainment. From a late September Libra.

Aaaah Capri. I hope it gets better for you. Take every care of yourself.

Yes, Capri. Health is Wealth. Without it we cannot work, make a living, travel, engage in sports.

So beautiful. Rimpianto. (Il ricordo ancor' di quell'amor che non esiste più) As I sing along memories of what and who are not here any longer.

"The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter" Mark Twain "A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road" Henry Ward Beecher "Humor is the affectionate communication of insight". Leo Rosten Of course nothing much can be done about the chronically humourless.

Sly and the Family Stone "Dance to the Music" and "Pay me my money Down" Springsteen

Bone Tomahawk (2015) Good performances, and gripping IMO.

"Haters try to expose what's wrong with you, because they're are jealous of everything that's right about you. " (Unknown) "There is no rest for the person who has envy, and there is no love for the person who has bad manners." (Hazrat Ali)

The myth of "Stranger Danger". This is a topic close to my heart. "..this unsettling statistic: 90% of child sexual abuse happens to kids by someone they know… not by a stranger. Yet, so often the “stranger-danger” concept is the only safety strategy parents and caregivers review with their children. And it doesn’t work. In fact, it’s doing a disservice to kids because it’s distracting them from the reality of whom they (and you) should be paying more attention to. " "it may be a relative, a family friend, a coach or other person who interacts with the kids. It can even be an older child or teen who has a preoccupation with a younger child. Stranger-danger isn’t going to work here!" https://nanny.org/myth-stranger-danger-2/ And: "Myth 1: Sex offenses are committed by strangers. Reality: Most sexual offenses against children are committed by a family member or acquaintance. This is known as the stranger danger myth, and this is perhaps the most dangerous myth as it causes us to protect our children against the wrong people. Many parents believe that sex offenses are committed by a stranger, thus they do not allow their children to walk home alone or play in the park unsupervised. "Reality: The majority of child sexual abuse takes place in private residences. In recent decades, parents have become afraid of letting their children play unsupervised in the park, walk to school alone, or hand out in the neighborhood for fear, among other dangers, of their children being sexually assaulted. A recent study from our lab found that only 0.5% of sexual abuse of children took place in public area such a park. Most sexual abuse takes place in residential settings (private homes). We also found that less than one-quarter of all sex offenders met their victims in a public area, with most of the children meeting the perpetrator of the abuse in a residential setting – such as their own home."

Oh yes! Kind of apt.

Specially for Wisey. "Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear"

Enigma. Sadeness More

Crazy Dreams (Paul Brady) Kind of apt. "Don't let anyone stop you at the doorway".

So graphic, so pertinent "“Toxic relationships are dangerous to your health; they will literally kill you. Stress shortens your lifespan. Even a broken heart can kill you. There is an undeniable mind-body connection. Your arguments and hateful talk can land you in the emergency room or in the morgue. You were not meant to live in a fever of anxiety; screaming yourself hoarse in a frenzy of dreadful, panicked fight-or-flight that leaves you exhausted and numb with grief. You were not meant to live like animals tearing one another to shreds. Don't turn your hair gray. Don't carve a roadmap of pain into the sweet wrinkles on your face. Don't lay in the quiet with your heart pounding like a trapped, frightened creature. For your own precious and beautiful life, and for those around you — seek help or get out before it is too late. This is your wake-up call!” ― Bryant McGill" https://bryantmcgill.com/about/
