48. The more I track stuff and catch up

Sun Aug 31, 2025, 06:42 AM

Sunday

The more..well not alarm but awareness of the risks of further society wide misery I am conscious of.

But it’s time to buckle down and do the best you can to preserve a sane reality.

But calmness is of essence. My dad used to tell me about a phrase he learnt in the military: “hurry up slowly”. I’m trying that.

I feel pretty calm. I expect things to be worrying (as they should be if one is conscious) but not calamitous ..well not for anyone I care about personally. But no decent human can watch society wide chaos and be tuned out.
And not calamitous exactly but with things getting consistently worse over time. Yeesh.
