Despite my chronic bronchitis acting up... a certain Stephen King novel triggering the hell out of my Station Beta trauma... and falling back into Total Writers Block on Parallax... today was a pretty good day.
Peg and I wandered out to the Ballard Locks and accidentally found a street fair. We had a lovely and much-needed day in the sun, worked out a few relationship issues in fun and playful ways, and put a lot of ice down each other's clothing while giggling like loons.

So in summary, my belief in the power of friendship is still permanently damaged, my country is still being run by Lobotomy Nixon and his yes men, and I am still largely convinced that my encroaching health problems and underemployment will lead to doom for me and the woman I love.
But I had REALLY good shrimp & grits, got to look at many cute doggos, and made jokes about committing piracy on the high seas against spoiled-ass yacht owners. So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

@Leucrotta There is something very Soviet about this era of American politics, isn't there, which means we can at least expect the jokes to be good... *nod*

@zebratron2084 that seems to be how it goes, individual moments of sheer joy- and there can be a lot of these - as what keeps you going within a terrible system which views you as a convenient utility at best. I think this is how my ancestors kept going back in the day.
