No, make that a nightmare.

In it the whole world had turned inside out. Good things had soured–no, make that rotted. Good, trusted people had turned into sadists playing internet games. Had I gone crazy or had/has the world?

And who was I asking? What was in store for the United States if Trump had lost? We’ll never know. I hope. What a backdoor way to grieve did I give myself!…

While writing the above, I looked up “Baal” on Google and read the following lines (after many more):

I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the LORD, I will put My law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people; and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying: “Know the LORD”

“Good Night Irene”: An item in today’s news (or was that the nightmare?) refers to the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin: “Over the past nine weeks, Mr. Zeldin has withheld billions of dollars in climate funds approved by Congress, tried to fire hundreds of employees, recommended the elimination of thousands more E.P.A. scientists, and started trying to repeal dozens of environmental regulations that limit toxic pollution.” — nytimes Climate Change post.
