Go West young Men and Women. [View all]

Not giving this post a lot of thought really. Just making it up as I go along. So here's the deal from thoughts off the top of my head tonight. 'Give us your tired and your hungry' too right ... and I'm 66 so the title of this post is just an old western thingy ... anyway....

Wanting to leave the Country and actually having the resources, ability etc... to do it are another thing. I'm in Cali and am staying put for now. But if I was in any state not blue east of here I'd be making plans to head West. Washington State, Oregon or Cali on the coast. Washington State and Oregon are more affordable.

Land here and then look to head abroad if needed as the future unfolds. Buy's you time as I see it. Easier to cross State lines then waiting on whatever other Country would accept you from where you are now.

I know there are those who don't even have the option to go across state lines. Finances and what-not. I've been on DU since 2005 and have seen some amazing things when we get our heads together stay calm and carry on.

There may have to be a few "real underground' actions to protect our own out in the world. That will unfold as again the bluster and or real actions from the Trump admin again start to unfold after Jan 20th. We will all monitor it.

For now here's something I have framed on my wall that I look to now and then .... which I wrote out after studying what people actually regret before dying ...

"I wish I hadn't spent so much of my life worrying. It's my responsibility to be as happy as I can be right here today. Focus on the short term, this too shall come to pass. One day at a time, instead of worrying ... Prepare. Have faith in yourself, and not your imagination."

All the best DU, we are all in this together, keep speaking truth to power, keep your head up, keep the faith, LIVE, and stay tight.

Doublethink. Peace.
