I had to smile to see the paw prints in the fresh cement. In our neighborhood there's a trail of kid's footprints leading to the house on the corner that must have been there maybe twenty years, so the kid is now well grown up. I hope that your plans for the new adoptee work out. I know you'll miss Jane.

Concerning your sci-fi story, I, as an American, am currently watching good people who voted for Trump and are cheering on the cruelty and chaos. I am also of half-German descent, and have albums of ancestors in Nazi uniforms. Human nature is something I'll never understand.

I have to say: those "good" people are definitely not good people.

This time is inhumane, and terrible to wade through. The widespread accessibility of hatred is heartwrenching. We all must find our spot on Earth, our communities, and fight back how we can- by voting, and raising voices with our senators' and representatives' decisions.
