Down to the wire as I will be mixing my 2nd to last Peppers show tonight in Lincoln Nebraska. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Somehow it seems I should be more she’ll shocked but it just feels the same familiar business as usual way as it has for so long. Perhaps being home will feel odd. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What does feel odd is that the US has elected one of the most nauseating and selfish rude humans imaginable lead our country. <\/span>
\nMy feelings of helpless dismay, anger and disappointment exceed my literary skills by so many order’s of magnitude, I am at a loss for words.<\/p>\n

I will make a prediction though; prepare yourselves for war. Not an meandering existing conflict, not a shift in military presence or strategy, but rather a new clear and defined HUGE HEADLINES, scare the shit out of everyone, band together as the nation cowers in fear, war.<\/p>\n

I make this prediction based on the observation that Trump has demonstrated a pattern of an insatiable relentless quest for power and that Trump has demonstrated that he will viciously strive to defend holding power at all costs.<\/p>\n

Combine that observation with the fact that in the United States, every wartime President has always been re elected since the country began.<\/p>\n

My prediction is that in order to absolutely insure his re election and not risk any other outcome, Trump will start a war, regardless of the collateral damage and lives lost.<\/p>\n

Agree? Don’t agree? Makes no difference, as thisl post will still be here four years from now and I will either be right or wrong. I hope I am wrong.<\/p>\n

On brighter notes: the small and human things make me happy<\/p>\n

Just a quick check, anyone out there know if this wiring configuration out front of the Corn Husker Marriott in Lincoln is up to code?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I promised a pic of Jack Irons<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And because probably more than anything, gonna miss hanging out with Scotty<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And yay, today was Rat swag day with a hoodie, beanie and name embroidered laundry bag<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

And for good memory sake, started grabbing pics with my tour friends I have had the honor to travel the world with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I’d love to share some sound needs stuff but that will have to wait, lots to do and so little time.<\/p>\n

Oh, and thank you everyone for helping me with the swamping Scott’s phone and helping me with one last big fun hurrah as this life chapter come to a close.<\/p>\n
