Unimaginable

Monday, February 03, 2025

In today’s news, the political and financial worlds we have known and depended on are being upended. Those Americans in opposition are unprepared to respond to rapidly occurring events against (and despite) our Constitution. Our current choices regarding how current events in this nation might play out include some previously unimaginable. I feel panic.

Transitioning to the local reality: Today’s weather in Central Oregon before sunrise doesn’t include the snow predicted yesterday. Interestingly, the bottoms of the Central Oregon Cascade Mountains (where I live) remain snowless–opposite the mountaintops–now snow-packed hugely. That’s making our local Mt. Bachelor ski area one of America’s top skiing destinations.

Today, another dependable reality is my being at work. Yesterday, the store had fewer customers than usual. I wonder if the current political news is causing folks to pause their shopping habits. I will be curtailing my spending throughout these challenges to our Constitution.

If America’s laws cannot control/stop what could become many unwanted happenings, we, as average citizens, will likely be harmed socially and economically.

Dear Friends: America’s great Constitution is under siege and being challenged. Diana
