Am I back?

I must say...for as long as I've been away, it feels as if I never left.  I suppose one never stops ruminating and reflecting.  I just haven't been putting pen to paper.  Leisure is scarce these days.  Energy is scarce.  Eye fatigue is perpetual.

At this very moment, our society is dealing with the Coronavirus, Asian giant hornets, and protests/destruction over yet another incident of police brutality against the African American community.  These things may or may not pass.  They may exist in flux, never to go away.  Control is not the issue here.  Even if you don't step on dog shit, it's still out there.

Fast forward almost 3 years to date (6.1.23) from the last time I wrote in here...

Coronavirus is not causing health officials to implement safety measures in society, so things are pretty much back to normal.  It's been about 2 weeks since Amazon started to expect employees back in the office at least 3 days per week.
