1. Wine plus vodka??? My dear Aristus!
Getting pickled is not the way to get through the next four years!

3. The way things are going, I don't much care if I live through the next four years...
Although, having said that, I don't want to die while that fucking idiot is President...

4. 'Arsehole'. I love that. Sounds so British...
I'd give anything to be in the UK right now. Or Canada. Or Australia, Or New Zealand. Or Ireland...

7. I have nothing but fond memories of my time in the UK...
Even the bad times were good.
I was taking the ferry from France back to England (which had been my base for my travels at the time). I was homesick, physically sick, and broke. I can't imagine being more miserable. This sweet young English kid who was travelling with his family sort of adopted me for the journey. He looked after me, got me some broth from the galley, gave me some candies, and wrote a very nice note for me (including elementary school-style drawings) when he, his family, and I parted ways in Dover. Young people like this boy continue to give me hope that all is not lost for the human race. And that those who care for, and look out for, their fellow human beings, are the ones who give us a future. |

10. I got away for a month...
It was great...very few Trump headlines...except British news anchor coming on and saying Trump was an arse
and then you just detached, didn't even google for any news.. and then the day, I got back - it was up right in your face again... |

11. Makes me want to take a trip to Lapland or someplace.
Somewhere unplugged, beautiful, peaceful, quiet, to chill out (excuse the expression...) for a few years.
Human beings, by and large, suck. I want some time away... |
