Congratulations, Cindy ! (& here, now fondly recalling quality times I spent, long ago, with the two super-brave guys at top of Nixon's "enemies list" [which wasa for-real list].)

While "The List" (of things to worry and freak out about) is long and getting longer daily, nuclear disaster, e.g. due to mishaps, seems to be very low on it. Probably much too low, likely due to the fact that we have been CRAZY LUCKY in the last 72 years. We will not be forever.

Thank you @TomCollina for sharing. I’ve admired @plough_shares since Sally founded it in early 80s. She was a great inspiration & dear friend.Bravo for carrying on her mission! I remember how she loved to quote Margaret Mead:“Never doubt that a small group…can change the world.”

I just wanted to share this meme that I made. Whimsy defeats depression every time.
