We had tornados to the north of Nashville New Years Eve, and the big network-broadcast blowout from downtown was iffy until they realized the weather would stay just to north. Several of the artists cancelled at the last minute with positive COVID tests (I got my booster two weeks ago), and Omicron is going like the wind here in town. Restuarants and venues are beginning to close again, I'm wearing masks again. We ran for our lives a month ago when close to 20 tornados came through in the middle of the night all around me and hid out in a shelter at the nearest hospital, not knowing if I'd come home to an empty slab. Nuts !
Uncle Sam's Navy is doing planning for sailing through a totally ice-free Arctic Ocean by the next 25 years (no word on where Santa and the Polar Bears are relocating . . .) and the City of Miami is planning for Miami to be like Venice in the same time frame.
I realize I'm 66 going on 67 and living my hard-earned curmudgeonry, but I swear, the older I get, the less I understand.
