Thank you so much!
I feel reality breeds pessimism. It's the world we live in, our asylum.

Yes indeed, nine months of toxic waste simmering in preordained slop,
the salvaging of which rests solely on trip ahead and the hidden wonders
to be found. So sad the sign posts are few and far between, and many
are obscured by the ugliness left behind by earlier travelers.
A metaphorical masterpiece, nicely dressed and served cold.
Standing ovation.
