Real Life Surrealism every day

Not since the Bay of Pigs and the Assasination of President Kennedy and the Cuban Nuclear Missile Crisis has life been this surrealistic.

We all thought it couldn't get much worse than 9-11 or the world's response to 9-11-01. Well, it just did and not only in America but world wide. It is getting more certain by the day that General Motors at the least and all the big three at the most (one, or more) likely will go into Chapter 11 business bankruptcy reorganization by January or June.

I watched a car running the wrong way on a one way street today. The man just seemed so out of touch from being upset that he didn't even stop and everyone else was just so out of it they didn't even honk. Our car kept a man about to step off the curb from being hit by the obviously out of body man driving the wrong way several blocks on a one way street. The good thing was nobody died. But it was extremely strange that nobody honked either, even us. Then a man was running alongside our car on a busy street as if it was normal and almost got squished between our car and a parked car. He just waved to my wife who was driving. He was obviously another person trying to deal with the incredible surrealism of life lately by trying to replace the international economic insanity with jogger's high.

Yes. At least 75% of us internationally will find ways to adapt worldwide to all these changes and find a way forward. It is very hard for people worldwide to find just how many things were luxuries and how few are necessities. This, I think is the real challenge for all of us.
