NEW START, NEW YEAR

Well, we made it over. It is 2018. I always fall for that mistake when writing cheques and erroneously put 2017. A hard habit to kick to the curb.

An article came out recently about dwindling numbers for enrollment in the US schools. To be expected....What with Leader Trump, language of division, displacement of many, vulgarization of ideals. Thus, a repulsion towards things American.

It became the norm to now hear junior and senior high school students say, "I would like to look at Europe, what are my chances there?"

Asia, Latin America...anywhere but the good old North..Speculation? I think not. Reasonable fear, yes...We wait and see how far impeachment will go and whether Mueller has a plan to prosecute.

On a more optimistic note: HAPPY NEW YEAR and Auld Lang Syne.....!!!!
