It’s warmer but cloudier in Ashlandia. Like several other things that could be mentioned, I’m not certain what’s going to happen. For Ashlandia’s weather, it’s 57 F. Clouds have pressed blue sky into the background. Sunshine is a hopeful possibility but rain is in the forecast.
For the United States, markets are dropping. Our government systems are being deliberatedly sabotaged in an effort to ‘make them better’. At national parks, the Trusk Regime is telling park employees to do more with less. Measles are spreading. Vaccinations are down. Tariffs are up.
It’s just uncertainty in the air today, Sunda, April 6, 2025.
Despite yesterday’s outswelling of public protest about what the Trusk Regime is doing, nothing has changed. We remain at the same stuck place: one outraged side vehmently opposed to what Trump is doing. Another side supporting him with cultish fervor. A third side seemingly detached and uninvolved, showing questionable awarenss.
I’m read interviews again and again, and that’s where it lands. Given, I can’t vouch for their veracity. Written words on the net are suspect. Perhaps they’re AI creations to spin and confuse. But Trump voters still declare that DOGE is doing great things. That the tariffs are wonderful weapons in the fight to remake America. That Trump is looking out for the average person in the street. That’s what they claim they still believe.
I don’t know. I’m trying for a pragmatic tone but I’m jaded in a dozen ways. It’s still early. The tariff war’s ink is still drying. Results of many things still float through the air like shredded paper.
Without much surprise, The Neurons are playing “Land of Confusion” by Genesis from 1986 in the morning mental music stream.
Coffee has found its way into me again. Hope you find the energy and frame of mind to make this day what you need. Cheers

Was never a serious Genesis fan, but do enjoy Phil Collins drumming and vocals.
If you have listened to his work with Brand X you’ll know what I mean.
Livestock is one of the very best jazz rock fusion albums of any era.
As a bonus, the wife and I got see Phil play Johannesburg many moons ago.
Fabulous concert.
Hope you had a good weekend, Mr. S.
Try not to fret too much over Trump.
As George Harrison once remarked : All things must pass.

Also was never a serious Genesis fan. They’re more of a pop offering for my taste. I lean toward guitar-driven rock and blues. I have heard his Brand X work and agree.
I’ve never seen him in concert, so I am a little green with envy.
Weekend is still progressing. Wind is kicking up, and rain signs are showing up again.
Yes, I tell myself not to fret over Trump too much. But I’ve always been miserable at taking such advice. Just sems to be my nature.
Have a good one. Cheers
