Them: How are you? Me: I live in a collapsing empire. The leaders are all nakedly corrupt and selling the future to every techno-fascist offering them the money and/or agreeing to keep their various atrocities a secret. The oceans are choking. Everything is on fire. How are you doing?
Bidding Japan farewell again this morning. Can’t wait for the next return trip. Every visit gets better.
I live for jokes like this. Miss you, Mr. Pratchett.
