THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR

According to the internet, the FIFA Peace Prize, which was created in October 2025, is to "reward individuals who have taken exceptional and extraordinary actions for peace and by doing so have united people across the world". According to US ambassador Joe Popolo, the Dutch can absolutely trust the United States. "We work so much together. We are the biggest foreign investor in the Netherlands, the Netherlands is the fourth biggest investor in the US and an important export partner."

My ancestors came to North America when New York was still Nieuw Amsterdam. I was born here. My parents and grandparents were citizens of the United States, and many of my kinfol served in uniform. I am a citizen. Do I trust the United States?

Do I trust the United States?



You know, all morning I've had this weird feeling in my left eyelid. Like one of the lashes is off-kilter. Combined with the sense that the eyebrow is trembling and growing a little bit it's mildly disconcerting. Not enough to see a doctor, not nearly, but evenso.

I wonder if it's coffee-related.
Having already had two cups of strong coffee today, I'll fix myself another one and then go do laundry. Laundry is essential. One must both look and smell clean, otherwise one scares the morbidly obese visitors from the rest of the greatest country on earth. Upon whom we rely here in San Francisco. They already have a negative idea about us -- everyone seems to be twitching and on something -- but never-the-less, we must make a clean impression. We've got hambers to feed them, and we'll make way for their walkers and mobility devices. Many restaurants have ketchup, some have Bourbon. Grits and canned clam chowder are probably available down at the wharf. Plus Fox News is on cable, so they can at least relax with their favourite truthiness in the evening while recovering from their wild adventures.

Truthiness and clean smells. That keeps America happy.

That and bacon-cheddar something.

We aim to please.
