6 days after Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, a Prague paper published these “10 Commandments”:
‘When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU:
1. Don’t know
2. Don’t care
3. Don’t tell
4. Don’t have
5. Don’t know how to
6. Don’t give
7. Can’t do
8. Don’t sell
9. Don’t show
10. Do nothing’

Happy birthday! I turned 60 this year and still think I am 36. It's just a number (and it's easier to be outta fucks the longer you survive)!

Finally no longer dealing with undiagnosed ADHD. Officially diagnosed and started treatment today. Wow! So this is what the world is like for neuro-typical people? What a difference. Take the time to take care of yourself. It makes a difference.

I just deactivated my Twitter/X account. It feels freeing somehow. I'll try to find my folks here. Hello Blue sky!
