  1. I learned a new term today. Thought I would share it. Doomscrolling There is also another term called “Doomsurfing” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomscrolling A few years back I realized that I drove to and from work listening to talk radio. When I was at work, between work duties, I was constantly looking at news and reading about every bad thing available. There never seemed to be anything in the way of good news. When it came it was quickly overshadowed by something dreadful or despicable. I became sick of it! It affected my attitude. I found myself worrying about things that I could not control. I felt angry and lived in a gray haze of simmering anger. My feelings, angst and anger affected others. Others that I cared about. One day I was listening to yet another story of doom and gloom followed by an endorsement for buying something I never knew I needed or wanted and it hit me. “I am a dupe. I’m buying into their anger and trepidation and they’re profiting on it! Screw them!” I switched stations on the radio. I stopped going directly to news feeds at work and at home on the Internet. I downloaded music apps to listen to on my helmet Bluetooth and I literally quit listening to talk radio, the news and commercial radio. I cancelled my cable subscription and closed myself off from the drama and the BS. Oh, I still looked at news, but I did it on my terms. I have news emails from Epoch Times and 1440. I pick and choose what I want to read or care about. I follow the weather on apps and I pay zero attention to sports. I do follow Congress and the Supreme Court, but I don’t dwell on it. I don’t allow the NRA or any other pro gun or conservative groups manipulate me. Life is too darn short! The reason I am bringing this up? I just wanted to let my Pards know that life is too spectacular, miraculous and wonderful to allow it to be stripped away by people that don’t deserve your attention or your money. Sometimes one just has to say “Enough!” I yield the rest of my time to the good people I appreciate in the Saloon. I gotta go work out. It relieves stress, ya know.
