Today more unpleasant news arrived in our lives, as if there hadn't been enough already this year.  The first three months of this year were full of sad and/or upsetting news and it appears the next quarter won't be any better.  Now Jackie and Dave's stripy Pepper cat passed away suddenly today.  WTF?!  It kills me to think about that because I start to think of all the other things that have happened lately and I end up an emotional mess.  Things just ain't right with the moons and tides or something, look at gas prices and how little our dollar is worth.  It's an election year and I am starting to fear the worst.
