ON THE BACK BURNER

I stopped listening to the news at 6  to 7 pm. I would hear the local news, then national news. I had to stop because I was getting way to upset . Then I wanted to stop our newspaper. Except the very local one that sometimes includes my  articles. The paper was a gift from a daughter . The subscription expired and Bob wanted to continue it. I read the special feature, like sports on Monday, science on  Tuesday, food on Wednesday, style on Thursday and so on. Now , my ipad is dinging and there is a blast telling me news that  don't want to hear. I am still getting upset . Unless I live on an  island, I can't escape all of this bad news that seems to be generated by one person. There is only one way to stop my being upset.How many days until the next election. It can't come soon enough for me.

Don't quite know how this got to me but it was on the top line of my computer (not in email) But I really enjoyed it. I truly admire you.
