Sadly, this is normally how it goes. You are sharp, alert and vital, then suddenly EVERYTHING does a Thelma & Louise off the Grand Canyon.

One of my favorite details in Civil War was the the fact that the leader of the western alliance strike team was wearing a Hawaiian shirt. It seemed simultaneously absurd and hyper-realistic.

“Made in Italy” is sometimes just “Made in China”. Chinese factory staffed by Chinese labor in a Chinese “factory town”, that happens to be in Italy. You are not getting the hand made, expertly constructed, master craftmanship you are paying for.

With the exception of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians, the administration has been very competent. Remember, that old man doesn’t do much. The work is done by his team.
