Thought about this a lot the last three yearsit really has felt like "The Stand." Like we're all being sorted by something. There's us, jolly and comfy af in Boulder, and then there's themreeeeeing at the sky, increasingly unhinged, increasingly violent. The latecomers in our lives are drifting our way or theirs, and we rejoice when it's the former; when it's the latter, we don't really mourn them so much–they knew what they were getting into, and we're better off without them anyway.

Strange days, anon.

Lost my family 20 years ago. Met a girl, made a new family, and lost that one too–because the social engineers had made of her an amoral psychopath who never considered me anything other than a sperm donor.

This is war, and war is hell. It didn't start when Obama was elected, it started long before most of us were even born. People get hurt in war, people die. It sucks, but that's the truth of it. Our lives have been part of a very, very long war.

We see the possibility of an end to it now. That's enough for me. My own life may have been wasted, and I've made my peace with that. If I can aid the final push so that kiddo doesn't have to live the way that I did, that's enough.
