This is just a quick note on my mood. It is a challenge. I am also noting that it feels as if we have to endure all of October waiting for the Midterm Election. My feelings remain settled that I don't know what will happen. But I hope. It also feels as if the media is filling the void of knowlege with endless speculation on doom scenarios (particularly for Democracts). I think they are understimating the change caused by the Supreme Court's overruling of the Roe v. Wade precedent. . . . I still think it has energized a whole group who hasn't been active previously. And that continues to make the conventional wisdom inapplicable. But nature (and the media) abhors a vacuum, so it is as bad as I have evern seen it speculation wise. And anxiety-wise. Will read this once we know what happened and see what is still valid, and what has ages poorly.
