Scientists have described "Nuclear Winter" since the 1950's I believe. Now we are on the threshold of the accopolypse in our lifetime. In the 50's Kelly and I experienced such doomsayers week after week, day after day...dive under our desks, Conelrad warnings weekly, pictures often of nuclear bomb explosions. Driven scared by our governments and the media of the time. Then it waned, we became immune and bored of the whole prospect. Mutual Assured Destruction became the operating words of the day and after the fall of the Soviet Union we basked in the glow of a peaceful (non-nuclear threat) existence. That was then, now we have two persons of like attitude, Mr. Trump and |Mr. In who are staring down each other with the power to do great damage to our world by their words alone. Enough said, perhaps, to lead the other to go ahead with missiles and nuclear destruction of an unprecedented kind. North Korea is threatening to send 4 missiles towards Guam where the US maintains both a Naval and Air Force Base and many support personnel. Guam is a US territory. Mr. Trump uses the site Twitter.com to expand his presence and explain his political positions. I find it childish and inane for our POTUS to behave as such a child would do. Threatening North Korea through his Tweets is irresponsible and utterly immature and in-American in my opinion. He is, by this act, inviting North Korea to act on ntheir threats and endanger every American citizen. He is supposed to be protecting you and I and he swore to it with his hand on a Christian Bible, do you feel protected? I certainly do not.

Good and Bad, VERY for both!
Found Blues Berry, an organization that stages real, live, honest-to-their-god BLUES performers throughout the Berry Region of France! No kidding! And we went to our first event the Blues Berry Festival last Saturday at Ambrault about a 15 minute drive from Lignieres! What a scene, big field, built up stage with pro lighting, great sound system and seating 50 feet from the stage...cost? FREE! At first we were among the very few as the weather closed in on us promising rain, cold wind and darkness, maybe even lightning! Empty stage was soon filled with a band rehearsing their performance and while frustrating to hear all the adjustments, bleats, strums and pops it promised a show to believe in! Soon the crowd started to gather, we were among the earliest at 5pm and by 6 there were about 100 on the field wandering among the dealers of clothing and ceramics, food etc. Music started about 6 and never stopped until we left at about 9:30 to drive home happy and awed by the lavender hue
